Borussia Monchengladbach-Werder Bremen is a Bundesliga Week 15 match and is played Friday at 8:30pm: TV, predictions.
Borussia Monchengladbach vs. Werder Bremen, 10th vs. 12th. In both cases we are in the right side of the standings: Europe is not that far away but for now it does not seem to be a realistic goal for either Gerardo Seoane’s or Ole Werner’s men. ‘Gladbach continues to struggle on the road, where it has so far collected only 6 of its 16 total points.
At home, on the other hand, the discourse changes completely, and the five consecutive victories in front of their home crowd prove this perfectly. Away from home, Borussia struggles and on Saturday became the first team to lose to Union Berlin (3-1) after a fast of no less than seventeen games between the league and Champions League by the Capitols. Immediately vanished, therefore, the enthusiasm for the quarterfinals won in the German Cup thanks to the success obtained in the last minute of the second extra time against Wolfsburg. The national cup this year could bring significant satisfaction to the Fohlen, who in the next round will face for a place in the semifinals the “terrible” Saarbrucken, a third-division team that has already knocked off two German soccer bigwigs like Bayern Munich and Eintracht Frankfurt.
The ‘Gladbach team concedes too many goals
The ‘Gladbach’s main problem is a defense that doesn’t seem to be living up to the goals the club set for itself at the beginning of the season: already 31 goals have been conceded in 14 games.
In the penultimate match before the long Christmas break, Borussia will in any case try to get closer to Europe again, hosting at Borussia Park a team that holds together with Heidenheim the worst external record in the Bundesliga. Werder, in fact, away from home has barely scored a point: in the past six years it has never done so badly.
The Prediction
Werder Bremen bounced back after two consecutive defeats by beating Augsburg 2-0, but it will not be easy for the green-and-whites to go for a result on a pitch where Borussia Monchengladbach is often ruthless and has won for five consecutive games. Seoane’s men can be trusted in a match with at least three total goals.
