Bundesliga Preview
The gap between Monchengladbach and the top four in the Bundesliga remains at one point following the weekend’s games. However, they would have been disappointed that they didn’t end the round inside the top four. The reason for them dropping out of the vital positions was because they lost their last game against Borussia Dortmund. Thorgan Hazard and Achraf Hakimi scored the goals for Dortmund, while Lars Stindl did get the hosts back on terms momentarily.
Monchengladbach would have still taken confidence from that game as they did manage to perform excellently against a high-caliber opponent. This was their only defeat over the course of their last five games. During that run, Monchengladbach have won twice, and drawn twice.
They will be up against one of the most in-form sides in the Bundesliga this weekend, as FC Koln have lost just once in their last five. That run of form includes three consecutive wins. Unfortunately, their early season form means that the best that they can hope for this season is a finish in the middle of the table. Their last win in Germany came against Paderborn, as they won 2-1. Jorge Mere and Jonas Hector scored the goals for the visitors, but this will be a much sterner test for them. Koln’s fans would have been happy with how ruthless they were when they got their chances in that fixture, as they only recorded three shots on target. They will need to be clinical again in this fixture.
Head To Head
This will be the 21st meeting between these two sides, with Monchengladbach holding the dominant advantage. They have won on eleven occasions, while Koln have won four times. There have been five draws in the past between these two sides.
