Borussia Monchengladbach vs Hertha

Monchengladbach got off to a good start in the 2022/23 Bundesliga campaign, taking four points from their first two matches with a 9-1 DfB Pokal cup win thrown in as well. Fans of the Foals will be hoping their team can return to contending for the top four league positions after two consecutive seasons of mid-table finishes. They kicked off the season with a 3:1 win over Hoffenheim and continued with a 2:2 draw away to Schalke. Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just one fitness concern for the Gladbach coach Daniel Farke to contend with due to a largely intact group of players. Lars Stindl (Hamstring Injury) is sidelined.

Hertha's current form is definitely a cause for concern for manager Sandro Schwartz and the fans. The team has now failed to record a win in their last eight matches after ending the pre-season on a four-game losing streak. The defensive fragility that saw them concede 71 goals last campaign, the second highest in the Bundesliga, appears to have carried over to this season as they have conceded 18 goals during their current winless run, failing to keep a single clean sheet. Hertha fans expect a lot from Stevan Jovetić, the Montenegrin international who scored six goals last season. The away side needs to do much better to avoid getting into early trouble.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction                                                                            

Borussia Mönchengladbach is in a much better momentum, and they are favorites to pick up all three points. We believe they will meet the expectations and celebrate another victory in front of their crowd.

Goals Market Prediction

Gladbach’s both Bundesliga games went over a 3.5 margin, and we expect a similar outcome on Friday evening. These two teams should produce at least three goals in total in this encounter.  

Borussia Monchengladbach to Win @ 1.60

Over 2.5 FT @ 1.60

Correct score 3:1 @ 11.00

Bayer Leverkusen vs Hoffenheim

Bayer Leverkusen will be aiming to record their first win of the season when they take on Hoffenheim on Saturday afternoon. Bayer kicked off the new Bundesliga campaign with back-to-back losses to Borussia Dortmund and Augsburg, but they were more than unfortunate not to grab something from these matches. They sit at the bottom of the Bundesliga, but the hosts want to get back to the top-four race quickly. Patrick Schick has yet to open his goal-scoring account, but the opposition defenders should have the Czech Republic international at bay. Leverkusen needs to be more clinical in front of the opponent’s net since they scored just one goal in the opening two rounds.

TSG Hoffenheim lost to Borussia Monchengladbach, but won last week 3-2 against Vfl Bochum. Conceding three and two goals in their games is not a good sign, so they need to tighten up in this match. TSG Hoffenheim is not particularly good at tightening up, as each of their last six games ended with over 2.5 goals scored. The visitors have also been poor at away stadiums recently, failing to win any of their last five away matches. Nevertheless, they hope to capitalize on their rival’s poor form to return home undefeated. Hoffenheim boss André Breitenreiter has multiple availability issues to deal with. Ihlas Bebou (Knee Problems) and Ermin Bicakcic (Fitness) are not able to play.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction                                                                            

The hosts managed to beat their opponents at home just once since 2015, and they will have another tough task. We believe Hoffenheim might remain undefeated, and they shouldn’t lose by more than a goal.

Goals Market Prediction

Six of their last seven encounters at BayArena went over a 2.5 margin, while BTTS Yes cashed five times. Neither team has been tight in the back since the beginning of the season, and we don’t think either will keep the clean sheet.  

Hoffenheim AH +1 @ 1.78

BTTS Yes @ 1.50

Correct score 2:2 @ 12.00

VfL Bochum Vs Bayern Munchen

 

Another glut of goals looks possible on Sunday. A very interesting fact which comes to the fore is that Bochum have actually scored in 6 of their last 8 meetings against Bayern. Both teams to score is very possible.

AH Pick: Away - 1

O/U Goals: Over 3.5 Goals 

BTTS: Yes
