Borussia Dortmund vs Borussia M’gladbach Preview and Team News

Borussia Dortmund Team News

Eager Dortmund fans believed they were close to producing a miracle against Barcelona in the Champions League last Wednesday. However, after taking a 2-0 lead, they painfully allowed an own goal, and despite winning 3-1 in the end, they lost 3-5 on aggregate.

In the Bundesliga, they managed to hold Bayern to a 2-2 draw last week. Following a dismal first-half performance, they scored two goals, but it was not enough for success, and now the hosts occupy 8th place in the table. 

Not the ending we hoped for, but plenty of moments to remember. 🖤💛 pic.twitter.com/xF4CVcXOnX

As they are 3 points behind number 6 Freiburg, they still have chances to qualify for the Conference League. Although the Europa League is also still in sight – Dortmund is 4 points behind number 5 Mainz – qualifying for the next edition of the Champions League seems unlikely. 

Dortmund will be without Marcel Sabitzer and Nico Schlotterbeck ahead of the principal clash. Emre Can and Carney Chukwuemeka are both questionable.

Borussia M’gladbach Team News

Gladbach suffered a saddening defeat against Freiburg in the previous Bundesliga round (1-2), losing the match in the final minute. It should be noted that the guests are far from their best form but still have chances of qualifying for the European tournaments.

Gladbach, currently placed seventh, are two points above their counterparts Dortmund. So far, they have yet to grab a win this month, but achieving that won’t be easy, as Gladbach experience severe problems in the defence.

Gladbach’s list of injured players includes Nathan Ngoumou, Moritz Nicolas, Rocco Reitz and Philipp Sander. Key centre-back, Nico Elvedi, picked up a minor injury, and his participation is questionable.

Borussia M’gladbach predicted lineup vs Borussia Dortmund (4-2-3-1): Cardoso; Scally, Itakura, Chiarodia, Netz; Neuhaus, Weigl; Honorat, Plea, Hack; Kleindienst. 

Borussia Dortmund vs Borussia M’gladbach Prediction 

• Pick: Dortmund to Win
• Odds: 1.41 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Borussia Dortmund 3-1 Borussia M’gladbach

When Dortmund play at Signal Iduna Park, they are major favourites against every opponent. We clearly saw that in the midweek clash against Barcelona, where Niko Kovac’s side swept through their rivals, even after being thrashed in the first leg.

Moreover, if we look at the previous four H2H occasions, Dortmund managed to win three of them. Given Gladbach’s poor form, the hosts will likely have the initiative and focus on winning from the first minute.

We anticipate a tense encounter with plenty of chances, but eventually, the home team will emerge victorious. Hence, we suggest picking Dortmund to win. 

Borussia Dortmund vs Borussia M’gladbach Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Both Teams to Score
• Odds: 1.50 (22Bet)

Dortmund vs Borussia is considered one of the most exciting rivalries in the Bundesliga, where fans always anticipate action and goals from both sides. Given the styles of the clubs, we anticipate the same to happen in the upcoming fixture.

In the last five H2H occasions, we saw an exchange of goals. Usually, the games between Dortmund and Gladbach always end up being high-scoring and tumultuous till the last minute.

We are hopeful that the following game will also live up to the spectators’ expectations and be filled with drama. Thus, our second pick here would be both teams to score.
