One of the key matches in the Bundesliga this weekend will take place Saturday afternoon when Borussia Monchengladbach hosts an in-form RB Leipzig outfit. Borussia could return to the top four with a win on home soil (and depending on how other results go) while RB Leipzig still has an outside chance of catching Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich at the top of the table.
- Borussia Monchengladbach has not won any of its last five home matches in the Bundesliga.
- RB Leipzig is unbeaten in its last 11 league outings.
- Borussia Monchengladbach has never beaten RB Leipzig.
Borussia Monchengladbach vs RB Leipzig Game Center
Borussia has a proverbial mountain to climb
Monchengladbach has been struggling over the last few months to find its form from the first half of the campaign. The side has won just one of its last four league outings but more importantly they are without a win in front of their own fans in their last five, and now come up against a side that is absolutely brimming with confidence after an excellent run of form.
There is absolutely no doubt that RB Leipzig comes into this match in the higher spirits. They have won their last four in a row in the Bundesliga and over a longer period are unbeaten in their last 11 league matches – they could still, theoretically at least, catch Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich above them in the table.
And while the betting is close, RB Leipzig is the favorite to take all three points. You can back the visitors to win at +125 while Borussia Monchengladbach, despite home advantage, is out at +187 to do the same. A draw would appear to be the least likely outcome and is priced accordingly at +275.
Leipzig to carry on good form despite playing away from home
Despite the fact that they are on the road against one of the stronger sides in the division, we are expecting RB Leipzig to continue their recent winning streak and unbeaten run of form. It is never easy trying to predict the score in a football match, but a comfortable 2-0 win for RB Leipzig is priced competitively at +1100 and looks to be worth a bet when you consider the recent form of both these sides.
Such a result would then also allow you to back UNDER 2.5 goals in the game, which comes in at +110, as well as a “No” to both teams scoring, which is at the exact same odds. However, if you were looking to push any potential earnings from this match even higher, then you may wish to employ a method known as combo betting, which allows you to select multiple outcomes at higher odds.
For example, a combo bet of an RB Leipzig win, coupled with a “No” to both teams scoring, is at the much higher price of +333, while an away victory and UNDER 2.5 goals in the game is higher still, at +450. UNDER 2.5 goals and a “No” to both teams scoring comes in at +162.
RB Leipzig to control proceedings
As mentioned above, RB Leipzig is the team in the better form and that confidence should carry them through this tricky test. RB boasts the best defensive record in the Bundesliga, conceding goals at below one a game, and for that reason we think they should win this match to nil (without Borussia Monchengladbach scoring a goal), an outcome you can back at +333.
RB Leipzig has not exactly been gung-ho in front of goal but they come in at +240 to score in both halves. Their price is much higher, at +700, to actually go out and win both halves.
In terms of goalscorers, Timo Werner remains the main threat for RB Leipzig. The German international is at just +120 to score at any time during the game and +450 to net either the first or the last goal of the game.
