Stuttgart vs B. Monchengladbach prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-01-31 14:30.
[p]Stuttgart had won eight of ten games across all competitions (D1, L1) prior to last weekend’s trip to Mainz and were closing in on the Bundesliga’s top three. But a 2-0 defeat on the road was swiftly followed by a 4-1 drubbing at home against Paris Saint-Germain in midweek, and with a gut-wrenching exit from the UEFA Champions League confirmed, the Reds are now also five points off the Bundesliga’s top three pre-round.[/p]
[p]Sebastian Hoeneß’s side still have their eyes on the prize of a second successive European finish, and this weekend, they have the chance to record three home league wins on the spin for the first time this season. The omens on that front appear positive, with Stuttgart having beaten Saturday’s opponents Borussia Mönchengladbach 44 times in the Bundesliga to date – they haven’t beaten any other club more often.[/p]
[p]History doesn’t look any better from a Mönchengladbach point of view either, with the Foals only conceding more away goals in the Bundesliga against Bayern Munich (137) and Borussia Dortmund (118) than Stuttgart (110). Gerardo Seoane’s side picked up all three points against strugglers Bochum last time out though to bring an end to a run of three straight defeats and still harbour their own European ambitions.[/p]
[p]Sat four points below the top six ahead of the round, and only five points behind Stuttgart in fourth, the Foals have won all seven of the league games in which they’ve scored first so far this season, showing a strong resilience to see games out when ahead. The importance of the first goal to them this weekend is evidenced even further with Seoane’s side winning just one of the 11 Bundesliga matches this term in which they’ve conceded first (D2, L8).[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Ermedin Demirović has four goal involvements (G2, A2) in his last three H2Hs with Gladbach, including a brace in this season’s reverse fixture. Julian Weigl was booked in that clash – he has six yellow cards to his name already this season and has been cautioned in three of the pair’s last four H2Hs.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Six of Stuttgart’s eight first-half home league goals this season came before the 20th minute. [/p]
