Wolfsburg-Borussia Monchengladbach is a match in the 28th day of the Bundesliga and is played Sunday at 5:30pm: TV, lineups and predictions
Two teams on equal points. Who, however, do not play for something important. That is, by important we certainly mean a European placement. None of that. Wolfsburg and ‘Gladbach take the field to try to reach a salvation that at the moment does not seem so impossible. The season is on the line anyway.
Together at 28 in the standings, eight points away from the last slot that would send them to the Second Division, the two teams had started with obviously different goals. But you know, when a season starts badly it can end worse. Sure, now the ranking has settled down a little, especially since those behind are not pushing as hard. There is no math, though, and that a little bit of trouble and thought leaves them. You might say: it could end in a draw perhaps, since usually “two wounded are better than one dead,” however, the opportunity, especially for the hosts, to pull themselves out of danger permanently, is too important not to be properly exploited.
The prediction
In a match that should surely yield three goals in total and even one goal per team, Wolfsburg starts with the favor of the prediction mainly for one simple reason. The fact of playing at home is not something to be underestimated, especially when at stake are very heavy points for salvation. It is hard to think that Borussia, a formation that has experienced over the past years better moments, can return home with a positive result.
