Two sides that are locked in the middle of the standings in the Bundesliga will collide in the German top flight on Friday. Borussia Monchengladbach will be looking to get back on track, while Werder Bremen chase a second straight victory in the competition.
Bundesliga Preview
Borussia Monchengladbach will be looking to put a slow start to the season behind them when they return to action in the Bundesliga on Friday. Gladbach have suffered defeats in two of their previous three matches, which leaves them sitting tenth in the overall standings. However, a return to winning ways this week could lift them into the top half of the standings.
Defensively, they will need to improve, as they have already allowed 31 goals this term. Only Darmstadt have conceded more goals so far this term than the hosts this weekend. Their poor defensive record once again cost them in their previous match, as they were beaten 3-1 away from home against Union Berlin. Gladbach’s only effort in that loss was netted by Alassane Plea.
Werder Bremen will be the visitors this weekend, as the German side look to record a fifth victory of the campaign. At present, they will still have one eye on the sides below them in the standings, as they sit just four points clear of the drop zone. But, they should at least come into this fixture in revived form after ending a four-game winless run.
Werder put in an excellent display in their previous match, as they recorded a 2-0 success at home against Augsburg. Niklas Stark opened the scoring in that fixture, before Marvin Ducksch netted the second goal with just under half an hour remaining of the 90.
Borussia Monchengladbach vs Werder Bremen Head to Head
This exact fixture last term ended in a 2-2 draw between the sides. Meanwhile, Werder landed a 5-1 success in the first meeting of the 2022-23 season. However, that defeat is the only loss suffered by Gladbach in 13 Bundesliga showdowns between the two sides.
Borussia Monchengladbach vs Werder Bremen Prediction
There is little to separate these sides based on the form that they have shown already this term. However, there should be goals in this fixture, as 16 have been scored across their previous three meetings. Therefore, a home win and over 2.5 goals being scored are two interesting selections.
