Match Prediction: Borussia Monchengladbach vs. Leipzig
Eugen Polanski's team has gained momentum, but they are now up against the second-placed team in the league standings. Therefore, I do not expect the hosts to replicate the high-scoring performances they have shown in recent matches. Moreover, Borussia Monchengladbach has rarely been very effective in attack: in 10 of their last 13 home Bundesliga matches, the team has not scored more than one goal.
Leipzig, on the other hand, does not impress with bright football in away games, despite their recent improvement in picking up points on the road. In their last 13 away league matches, the club's players have only scored more than once on two occasions, and in seven of these matches, the team did not find the net at all. Additionally, in 7 of the last 8 head-to-head encounters at Borussia Monchengladbach's ground in the Bundesliga, no more than three goals were scored.
I do not anticipate a high-scoring encounter, and my prediction: Total under 3.5 goals
