Match announcement
Borussia Moenchengladbach
Current form
Borussia has improved significantly during the season and rarely allows itself to suffer outright failures. Over the last five rounds, the only game that can be recalled was a completely unsuccessful game against Freiburg (1:3). In the previous game, the Foals played a crucial match against Borussia Dortmund at home and managed to earn one point (1:1). This is not the first season that the team has achieved its greatest success at home. This year, Gerardo Seoane charges have earned 13 of the total 18 points at their home stadium, scoring 14 goals. The Foals are in 11th place in the standings.
Disqualifications and injuries
Netz, Neuhaus and Ranos are out today due to injuries. Weigl and Cvancara are suspended.
Interesting trends for betting
- Borussia are unbeaten in their last five home matches in the Bundesliga (four wins and one draw)
- In four of their previous five home matches in the league, Borussia have not conceded more than one goal
Probable line-up: Nicholas - Scully, Elvedi, Itakura, Ulrich - Sander, Reitz - Onora, Steger, Plea - Kleindienst.
Holstein Kiel
Current form
Four rounds ago, Holstein won their first Bundesliga victory of the current season against Heidenheim (1:0). There was hope that they would be able to build on that success, but this did not happen. On the contrary, we are now seeing an open series of four defeats in a row. Occasionally they manage to score against their opponents, but the lapses in defense cross out everything. Over the 13 rounds played, the "storks" have conceded 33 goals, only Bochum, who are at the bottom of the table, have conceded more. In the previous round, Marcel Rapp charges were unable to do anything against Leipzig at home (0:2). In the standings, Holstein with five points occupies the penultimate 17th place and is six points behind the saving 15th line.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kleine-Beckel, Becker and Komenda are all out today due to injuries, while Erras is in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- Holstein have conceded first in five of their last six Bundesliga away games
- Holstein have scored at least three goals in their last six Bundesliga away games
Estimated line-up: Weiner – Ivezic, Geschwill, Schulz – Rosenbom, Knudsen, Gigovich, Remberg, Porat – Machino, Harres.

10.50Tip and bets
We don't think we should expect a sensation today. Borussia regularly shows its best game at home, where it hasn't lost in five matches, and in four cases there were victories. Holstein constantly fails in defense, which the opponent led by Kleindienst will easily take advantage of. We expect the favorite to confidently score three points.
Our prediction is a victory for Borussia Monchengladbach with an Asian handicap (-1) at odds of 1.70
Bet on total
Borussia plays boldly in attack on their home field, demonstrates open football, and allows their opponents a lot. In four of the last seven home matches involving the "foals", at least three goals were scored. Considering Holstein not very strong defense, there is a high probability that there will be an abundance of goals today.
The second bet is total over three goals with odds of 1.80
Bet on the first half
Holstein have lost four games in a row in the Bundesliga and have been behind in the first half in each of them. We expect Borussia to take the lead early.
