Union Berlin vs B. Monchengladbach prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2022-10-29 14:30.
Surprise Bundesliga leaders ahead of the round, Union Berlin, have enjoyed their best ever start to a top-flight season (W7, D2, L2) and have also secured springtime European football following a 1-0 midweek win over Braga. With just a one-point gap ahead of the weekend and Bayern playing at home on Saturday, Die Eisernen will likely need to win to retain their unlikely position.
In fitting Jekyll and Hyde fashion right in time for Halloween, Union followed up a stunning 2-0 win over Dortmund with a shock 2-1 defeat to basement boys Bochum. Boss Urs Fischer admitted that they deserved to lose that game, but a return to Berlin should buoy hopes of a resurgent performance considering the fact Union have kept five straight home clean sheets for the first time since 1997!
In stark contrast to their hosts, floundering European hopefuls Borussia Mönchengladbach have conceded at least twice in five straight games (W1, D1, L3). Inconsistency has kept the Foals from really getting into their stride this season, as every result has differed from the last in league action so far (W4, D4, L3), a trend theyâll hope will continue here after losing 3-1 to Frankfurt last time out.
Foals boss Daniel Farke insisted that his side have played âexactly one bad gameâ all season despite their mixed results and a winless Bundesliga away record (D4, L1). It seems that Farke is realising that the demands are higher at Gladbach than during his time in charge of Englandâs most notorious âyo-yoâ club Norwich, as the five-time German champions endure their longest wait for an away win to begin a campaign since 2016/17.
Players to watch: Jordan Siebatcheu has proven crucial to Unionâs home success, contributing to goals in each of their four league wins here this season (G3, A2). Looking to make his mark will be Gladbachâs Marcus Thuram, although his five goals across the last four league appearances were only worth one point to his side.
Hot stat: Gladbach have avoided defeat in ten of their last 16 Bundesliga games as pre-match outsiders (W5, D5).
