B. Monchengladbach vs Werder Bremen Prediction & Betting Tips (3 November)

Much less visible than it has been in recent years, Borussia Mönchengladbach is now one of the teams concerned with remaining in the elite as proven by its very disappointing 15th final place achieved last year. A little better all the same this season, this team finds itself in the soft underbelly of the Bundesliga with 10 points taken during the first 8 days. Beaten on the Augsburg field 2-1, the Poulains gave themselves some breathing room by subsequently dominating Heidenheim 3-2 then they were forced to share the points with Mainz 1-1 last week. This week, Gladbach challenged Eintracht Frankfurt for a German Cup match but ended up losing 2-1. Opposite, Werder Bremen had to go through the 2.Bundesliga there is now 2 years old but since its return to the elite, this club has never really seemed worried by a possible new relegation.

Last year, this team even failed by just one goal to secure a ticket for the Conference League. Regardless, the Werderaner are still quite interesting at the moment this season with 12 units to their credit, 3 less than 6th. Dominated at home by Freiburg 0-1, Ole Werner's players immediately bounced back by winning at Wolfsburg 2-4. Finally, last weekend, they put in a very good performance by holding off the reigning champions, Bayer Leverkusen 2-2, equalizing in added time. This week, Werder traveled to Paderborn for the German Cup and came home with the qualification in hand 0-1.

Several elements of Mönchengladbach are still forced to withdraw from this meeting. These are the starting goalkeeper Omlin (ex Montpellier), his replacement Olschowsky, the important defenders Elvedi and Netz as well as the Luxembourg striker Borges Sanches who are all too close to appear on the match sheet. On the other hand, the former Niçois Pléa (1 goal, 1 assist) is a candidate for a starting place.

Same thing for the very interesting summer recruit Kleindienst (6 goals) who scored 3 goals during the last 2 days of the championship. Also pay attention to former Brest player Honorat (1 goal, 2 assists).
