The stats don’t lie, and Gladbach have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 11 goals in all. In defence, Borussia Mönchengladbach have been far from perfect. That being said, it remains to be seen if such a trend shall continue on here in this match.

🗞️ Team News: VfL Bochum

Ivan Ordets (Shoulder injury) and Bernardo (Knock) are not available for VfL Bochum boss Peter Zeidler.

In all likelihood, Bochum look set to kick off with a 4-3-1-2 system this time featuring Patrick Drewes, Felix Passlack, Jakov Medic, Erhan Masovic, Maximilian Wittek, Anthony Losilla, Ibrahima Sissoko, Matus Bero, Lukas Daschner, Philipp Hofmann and Myron Boadu.

🗞️ Team News: Gladbach

Gladbach boss Gerardo Seoane has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Yvandro Borges Sanches (Cruciate ligament tear) and Jan Olschowsky (Knee medial ligament tear) are not ready for selection.

There’s a good chance that Gladbach could decide to play in a 4-2-3-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Jonas Omlin, Joseph Scally, Ko Itakura, Nico Elvedi, Luca Netz, Rocco Reitz, Julian Weigl, Franck Honorat, Kevin Stoeger, Alassane Plea and Tim Kleindienst.

💭 Prediction

We’re of the view that Borussia Mönchengladbach and VfL Bochum could well end up finding themselves level here, with both teams capable of netting.

There should be little in it, and a draw looks to be quite a realistic result. We’re therefore seeing a hard-fought 1-1 scoreline at the conclusion of the game.
