B. Monchengladbach vs Union Berlin prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2024-09-27 13:30.
[p]After spending much of last season bouncing around the bottom half of the table, fans of Borussia Monchengladbach will have been hoping for better this time around but to date, their side continue to struggle. A routine 2-0 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt served as their latest disappointment, as it marked a third loss from their opening four league matches (W1), conceding 2+ goals in each of those defeats. [/p]
[p]To make matters even worse for Gladbach, two of those defeats came on home soil which means that they remain in the midst of a seven match winless run at Borussia-Park (D3, L4). The prospect of facing high-flying Union Berlin next up at this venue may not seem too enticing then, especially as a 0-0 draw against this opposition falls during that current streak, the latest in Gladbach’s eight-game winless H2H run (D3, L5). [/p]
[p]That H2H spell includes five wins in six for Union Berlin (D1), who have equally got the better of Gladbach at Borussia-Park. Across their last three visits to this venue, the Iron Ones have conceded just one goal in total (W2, D1) and if their overall early season form is anything to go by, more success could soon follow in this latest outing.[/p]
[p]That’s because Union remain unbeaten after four matchdays of this campaign (W2, D2), a run of form seriously helped by their defensive improvements compared to last season which very nearly contributed to them finishing in the bottom three. To this point this time around, they’ve conceded just two goals in total – the joint-fewest in the competition – whilst keeping two clean sheets in the process, a figure only RB Leipzig can better (3). [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Gladbach’s Alassane Plea has recorded five goal contributions across his last nine H2Hs (G3, A2), with each of those goals coming in the second half, including one last season. Tom Rothe opened the scoring for Union against Hoffenheim last time out and the away side will be hoping that he can get on the scoresheet again here as all six of his senior club goalscoring appearances have ended in victory. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Only Freiburg (3) have picked up fewer yellow cards in the Bundesliga this season than Gladbach (4). [/p]
