LiontipsBorussia Monchengladbach vs Strasbourg. Prediction and bets on a friendly match
Command Analysis
Throughout the past season in the Bundesliga, Borussia Mönchengladbach looked unconvincing, but retained their place, finishing in 14th place. The team approaches the start of the new championship with big goals, so far in friendly matches everything is going very solidly. Five matches were played, in all of them victories were registered, however, all opponents were far from the highest level.
Strasbourg spent the past season as a solid mid-table team in Ligue 1, and it was unlikely that they could have hoped for anything more than a final 13th place, since the team’s roster is not the strongest by the standards of the championship. Strasbourg began pre-season training in early July, and there were no major successes – not a single win in six friendly matches. However, we will make an adjustment that the opponents were mostly tough, for example, Fenerbahce (0:4), Freiburg (2:2 and 2:3).

14.00Tip and bets
Borussia won all five previous friendlies and today bookmakers are giving them the status of an obvious favorite. We would not overestimate those victories too much, considering that the opponents were noticeably inferior in class. Today they will play against a solid mid-table team from the French Ligue 1. Strasbourg played two friendly matches with Freiburg on equal terms and can well count on at least a draw in Mönchengladbach.
Our prediction is a victory for Strasbourg with an Asian handicap (+1) at odds of 1.65
Bet on total
Three of Borussia's five friendlies have seen more than two goals scored. Strasbourg are also quite capable of maintaining attacking football, as was evident in the previous matches against Freiburg.
The second bet is total over 2.5 goals for 1.80
Bet on the first half
Strasbourg has had difficulties in the opening 45 minutes in almost all of its friendly matches. It is clear that today, away, it will be difficult against Borussia in this period.
