Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Borussia Monchengladbach and Wolfsburg face each other at Borussia-Park in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Saturday’s program. Die Fohlen aim to put an end to their five-game winless run, but bear in mind that they failed to find the net in four of their last five league fixtures. Manu Kone is banned for the match, while both Tony Jantschke and Julian Weigl remain on the sidelines with injuries. Experienced forward Alassane Plea is widely expected to return to the starting XI.
The Wolves, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous five league fixtures. Wolfsburg have been in a much better form of late than Monchengladbach, but beating die Fohlen on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Both Ridle Baku and Patrick Wimmer are banned for the visiting side, while all Kilian Fischer, Lukas Nmecha, and Bartol Franjic are out of contention with injuries.
