TSG Hoffenheim vs Borussia Mönchengladbach: Match Prediction
TSG Hoffenheim are in excellent form. In their last nine league matches the side have lost only to second-placed Borussia Dortmund (6 wins, 2 draws). In the victories during that stretch the team demonstrated strong attacking output, scoring at least three goals. Hoffenheim head into the upcoming game on a run of four consecutive Bundesliga home wins, during which the club scored 13 goals, although they kept a clean sheet just once.
Since November, Borussia Mönchengladbach have begun to collect clean sheets, but the situation is not entirely straightforward. During this period the visiting team faced all the sides from the relegation zone, and two of the shutouts came against opponents positioned lower in the table. The club can pick up points against such opponents, while teams from the European places have been less generous to Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Prediction: TSG Hoffenheim Not To Lose And Over 2.5 Goals
