RB Leipzig – B. Monchengladbach : Preview & Prediction
On behalf of the 15th day of the Bundesliga, Leipzig 11th receives Borussia Mönchengladbach 13th.
Leipzig is not really up to its ambitions this season with only 18 points on the clock in 14 days and 7 points behind the top 4. This team remains on 3 consecutive losses in the league against Hoffenheim (2-0), Bayer Leverkusen (1-3) and against Union Berlin (2-0). This latest defeat got the better of Jesse Marsch’s post as coach who has just been replaced by Achim Beierlorzer. The latter has just achieved a good performance this week for his first match by winning against Manchester City (2-1) and securing the 3rd qualifying place for the Europa League.
For its part, Borussia Mönchengladbach is not up to its ambitions this season either. Indeed, this team is in 13th position in the standings with as many points as its opponent of the day. This training alternates between the best and the worst. After a draw against Mainz (1-1), they easily beat Greuther Fürth (4-0). Since then, it is nothing and they have just suffered two rather worrying consecutive losses against Cologne (4-1) as well as Freiburg (0-6) last weekend.
Leipzig remains on 3 consecutive defeats in the league.
Mönchengladbach remains on 2 consecutive defeats.
The two teams have the same number of points in the standings and are 7 lengths from the top 4.
Last year, Mönchengladbach won the first leg (1-0) before losing in the second leg (3-2) to Leipzig.
Leipzig has just regained confidence by beating City this week while Borussia remains on a heavy defeat on its lawn against Freiburg (0-6).
The change of coach could allow this Leipzig team to start again in the league in order to forget the bad start. This team still has every chance of returning to the top 4 on condition of winning the next rounds. On the other hand, Borussia Mönchengladbach seems too irregular to hope for anything this season and the last two setbacks are not going to help matters. With all the qualities of RB Leipzig’s squad and their flagship victory this week, we should see them come out on top at home in this game against a downcast side.
