Borussia Monchengladbach remain poised for a strong push for a European place in the second half of the season, as their form throughout the season has been strong. They could move into the top four with a win this weekend.
Bundesliga Preview
Borussia Monchengladbach have been quietly going about their business in Germany throughout the season, and they now look primed to take their chance and move into the European places. The stuttering form of Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen means that their places are in the most danger, as Gladbach are level on points with both of their rivals coming into this round of fixtures. Monchengladbach are in much better form than both of their rivals, as they haven’t lost in six league outings, and have picked up four wins during that run of form. They will need to respond from a disappointing draw last time out this weekend though, as they were held by Union Berlin in the capital last time out. Alassane Plea scored the equaliser in that fixture, but they were able to get through in the DFB Pokal in midweek with a win against Stuttgart.
There is still work to be done for FC Köln in the second half of the season, as they are one point ahead of Arminia Bielefeld, who are currently in the relegation playoff spot. Köln have been the most difficult side to beat in the bottom five so far this term, but they have won just four times all season. They have enjoyed a resurgence in January with two wins in three league fixtures, and the second of those wins came last weekend, as they beat Arminia 3-1. Marius Wolf was the hero in that game, as he scored twice.
Borussia Monchengladbach vs FC Köln Head To Head
FC Köln have beaten Gladbach on just one occasion in the past five. That win came in January 2018. Monchengladbach have won the last three meetings. They have scored six goals in those meetings, which means that they are averaging two goals per game against FC Köln.
Borussia Monchengladbach vs FC Köln Prediction
FC Köln have enjoyed some fine results recently, but this will be a much bigger task than they have faced over recent weeks. Gladbach have been very difficult to beat throughout the season, and they should get the three points that they need to move up the league table on the weekend.
