Bundesliga: Freiburg vs. Borussia Monchengladbach Betting Preview, Odds and Prediction

Borussia Monchengladbach travels to Freiburg to meet the hosts and try to win all three points. The guests are in a difficult position, as the Champions League race in Bundesliga reaches its climax. Meanwhile, the Zebras are trying to win finally and to revive their chances for the place No.6 in the standings, which leads to the Europa League.

Preview

Freiburg (+375) lost at home in the last game, against Bayer Leverkusen. The result of that match was 0-1, and that was the second straight loss at Schwarzwald Stadium, with the first one being against Werder Bremen, also 0-1.

The other two games were away from home, and they both ended with draws, Eintracht 3-3, and RB Leipzig 1-1. As you can see, since the comeback of the league, the Zebras weren’t that efficient, which wasn’t the case throughout the majority of the season.

The big problem for this crew is morale, as they look pretty demotivated while playing and aren’t keen on getting out on the European stage.

Borussia Monchengladbach (-140), on the other hand, will try to give everything to stay among the top four positions. Monch is aware that playing in the Champions League is more than profitable, and the players would like for themselves to participate in the most prominent competition in Europe.

Borussia trashed Union Berlin with 4-1 last week, which was excellent following a two-game winless streak. First, they lost at home to Bayer 04, 1-3, and after that played without goals in Bremen against Werder.

Opposite to Freiburg, Monch plays attacking football, with lots of chances and goals, which is why four of their past four games saw over 2.5 scores and both sides to net.

Latest News

According to all the info, Yoric Ravet will skip this match, although he stands doubtful for now. Janik Haberer is out because of his foot injury.

The guests will be without several players, Embolo, Denis Zakaria, Fabian Johnson, Raffael, and Tobias Strobl. All of them are injured, and will be out of the protocol.

Head to Head Matches

Bret Embolo scored twice in the first match of the season, with the game ending 4-2 in Monch’s favor. The hosts were simply better, but even so, Freiburg didn’ back down, and they showed an honorable fight.

Last four matches between Freiburg and Borussia Monch all saw both teams to score. Also, three were with four or more goals.

Prediction

It is an important match, and we believe that there won’t be too much calculating on Friday. A win is a must, meaning that both sides will try to impose their own rhythm and be offensive as much as possible.

Both teams to score is -105, which is a great offer, especially once having in mind that traditionally these two sides provide efficient matches. We also think that once either of the sides scores first, the game will open immediately and there would be plenty of chances for scoring goals.

If you want to lower the risk, try plain old Over 2.5 goals, with the ods at -135.
