Dortmund vs B. Monchengladbach prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-04-19 15:30.
[p]Borussia Dortmund’s 3-1 win over Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday was ultimately in vain as they lost 5-3 on aggregate in the quarter-finals. In spite of crashing out, BVB will have taken encouragement from getting a victory against one of world football’s most dangerous sides in what has been a difficult campaign for the German giants, one which could yet get worse as they could miss out on European football altogether for next season. [/p]
[p]Dortmund return to Bundesliga action looking to record back-to-back home wins in the competition for the first time since November after a 3-1 win against Mainz in their last such outing. They head into this round of fixtures sitting eighth and three points adrift of the top six, so stretching their 11-match winning H2H run against Borussia Mönchengladbach at Signal Iduna Park seems imperative to keep their European aspirations alive.[/p]
[p]Gladbach are looking for their first victory this April after collecting a point across their last two fixtures against St Pauli and Freiburg, as their hopes of qualifying for Europe for the first time in five years hang in the balance. Their recent away form has been formidable, with their 1-1 draw at St Pauli extending their unbeaten run on their travels to five matches, albeit ending a sequence of four wins on the road in the process.[/p]
[p]The Foals could do with keeping a few more clean sheets though, as they have managed just one in their last nine away games. They tend to struggle as games go on too, conceding 68% of their Bundesliga away goals this term after half-time – the third-highest such figure in the division ahead of the round. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Five of Maximilian Beier’s last six goals for Dortmund have come after the break, including his opener in last Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Bayern Munich. Franck Honorat has been influential in the last couple of weeks for Gladbach, registering an assist in both of their last two matches, while his three goalscoring appearances this season have all ended in victory. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: The home team on the day has won just one of Gladbach’s last ten games (HOME: D2, L7). [/p]
