B. Monchengladbach vs Union Berlin prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2024-04-27 13:30.
[p]Sunday’s Bundesliga action opens with what could be a pivotal game in the battle for survival as Borussia Mönchengladbach, who boast a four-point cushion to the bottom three, welcome Union Berlin who sit two points below them. Despite scoring three goals last weekend, the Foals enter this clash on the back of a brutal 4-3 defeat against Hoffenheim which was their third loss across the last four rounds.[/p]
[p]That sorry sequence has contributed to only doomed Darmstadt (seven) and relegation-threatened Bochum (ten) accruing fewer than Gladbach’s 11 points in the second half of the season. A home return isn’t bound to stimulate further progress after they lost their last two league outings here at Borussia-Park, although they can at least take confidence in their unbeaten home league record against sides beginning the round below them (W2, D3).[/p]
[p]Looking to put an end to that record are Union, who have won five straight Bundesliga H2Hs to solidify what is one of their best Bundesliga returns against any side (W6, D2, L1). Despite their resurgence under Nenad Bjelica, Union enter this on the back of three straight defeats and as such find themselves right back in the relegation mix after their 5-1 humbling against Bayern Munich last weekend.[/p]
[p]The story doesn’t get much brighter away from home, where Union have failed to score in their last 276 minutes of regulation play. Two of the three games across that period ended in 2-0 defeats, with the toothless manner of defeat providing the story of the season as the Iron Ones have failed to score in a distant league-high ten away games this season, eight of which ended in defeat.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Gladbach’s Robin Hack shot to the top of the club’s league scorer rankings (G8) after scoring his first hat-trick since 2019/20 in their latest league outing. Union’s Robin Gosens assisted upon his return from suspension last weekend and has also scored the team’s opener in all six scoring appearances this season. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Gladbach have won just three of their 19 league games as pre-match outsiders this season (D5, L11). [/p]
