Borussia Dortmund vs Monchengladbach Match Tips and Odds

Borussia Dortmund are favoured at 4/11, a draw is 7/2 with a Borussia Monchengladbach win at 6/1.

Dortmund have been far too strong for Monchengladbach in their past three encounters at the Signal Iduna Park. In those games the hosts have taken 55 shots to Gladbach’s 10, with shots on target a huge disparity at 20 to two. 

There have been plenty of goals in this fixture in recent times, with an average of 4.4 in the last five games. A Dortmund win/Over 2.5 Goals double is 4/5 while there is no reason to get off the Aubameyang to score markets just yet.

Borussia Dortmund vs Monchengladbach Prediction

Monchengladbach could score but Dortmund have an array of attacking weapons at their disposal and should wrap up another home win.

Correct Score Prediction: Dortmund 3-1 Monchengladbach

 

Team News

Raphael Guerreiro, Marc Bartra, Marcel Schmelzer, Erik Durm and Jeremy Toljan, Sebastian Rode and Marco Reus are still out for the hosts, with Mario Gotze still recovering from the clash with Jan Vertonghen in the Champions League. Julian Weigl will be hoping for some game time with Shinji Kagawa and Christian Pulisic on the scoresheet at Hamburg, giving Peter Bosz plenty of options in midfield and attack.

Key Man

It’s always about Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. The 28-year-old striker is one of the most feared strikers in world football, adding another goal to his collection against Hamburg. Always in the right place at the right time, Aubameyang now has six goals in seven games for Dortmund this season. 

Team Form – WWLDW

Dortmund top the Bundesliga with four wins and a draw and have yet to concede a goal. A 3-1 loss at Tottenham in the Champions League was unfortunate, but a 5-0 win against Koln and a 3-0 win at Hamburg has the Black and Yellows well and truly back on track.

Dortmund Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-3-3

Borussia Dortmund likely XI

  • Goalkeeper:Burki

  • Defenders:Piszczek, Sokratis, Toprak, Zagadou

  • Midfielders:Castro, Sahin, Dahoud

  • Forwards:Yarmolenko, Aubameyang, Philipp

Team News

Dieter Hecking has a host of players struggling with injury, the most significant are Yann Sommer, Vincenzo Grifo, Ibrahima Traore and Jonas Hofmann. Christoph Kramer was replaced by the impressive Mickael Cuisance at half time against Stuttgart but should return at Dortmund. 

Key Man

Monchengladbach’s forwards had been struggling to score but Raffael bagged two against Stuttgart and looked back to his best. Battling injuries throughout last season, the 32-year-old Brazilian has started every game this campaign with his link up play and movement causing opposition defences plenty of headaches. 

Team Form – WDLWD

Borussia Monchengladbach are going along nicely in the Bundesliga without setting the world on fire. The 1-0 loss at home against Eintracht Frankfurt hurt, but a solid 2-2 draw at Leipzig and a comfortable 2-0 victory against Stuttgart got things were steps in the right direction before the tough trip to Dortmund.

Monchengladbach Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-4-2

Monchengladbach likely XI

  • Goalkeeper:Sippel

  • Defenders:Elvedi, Ginter, Vestergaard, Wendt

  • Midfielders:Herrmann, Kramer, Zakaria, Hazard

  • Forwards:Stindl, Raffael

Borussia Dortmund are on fire in the Bundesliga, their only blip was a 0-0 draw at Freiburg where the hosts parked the bus after going a man down. Monchengladbach have drawn both matches 2-2 away from home and will be hard to break down, but you can't look past a Dortmund side at home and in rampant form.
Borussia Dortmund are undefeated in the Bundesliga and have yet to concede a goal.
