Borussia Mönchengladbach vs RB Leipzig
The raging RB Leipzig visit the Foals in Borussia-Park for another top-flight matchup in the Bundesliga. Leipzig aim to stop their drought in Monchengladbach and stay in the top three of the league table. The Foals, on the other hand, will attempt to turn their season around with a win against the club from Saxony.
Leipzig will go into this match with a chip on their shoulders. If they fail to come out of Monchengladbach with a victory, it would give them their fourth straight away-game loss against a particular club in Germany’s top-flight.
This could be the match that could end that streak. The Foals have lost all their home matches this season, both against formidable opponents in Leverkusen and Bayern, the top- two clubs in the league standings. Next to take a crack at it is Leipzig, who are poetically third in the league table.
Maybe the third time’s the charm for the Foals?
Talking Points
The prodigy that is Xavi Simons
The 20-year-old Dutch midfielder has been on a meteoric rise this season. He has been the key piece for Leipzig’s success over the first four matchdays. In those four games, Xavi has scored three goals and a league-leading four assists.
Leipzig’s loan signing has already cemented his value to the club after just a few games this season. He has been playing way ahead of his years, as the former Barca and PSG youngster’s impeccable timing, high IQ, composure, and precise passing were all immediately evident.
Keep an eye on him, as he’s quickly rose to be one of Bundesliga’s brightest stars.
Gladbach’s magical half
The Foals are coming into their match against Leizpig still on a high after they pulled off a fairy tale comeback against Darmstadt last Sunday.
Darmstadt, who are currently 17th in the league table, were on fire against Gladbach. Mehlem delivered first blood with the help of his unworldly first-touch. Matej Magilca quickly doubled the score for his squad with a beautiful header minutes later. And before you knew it, the home team was up by two goals in the first ten minutes of the first-half. Tim Skarke capped off the first- half with a goal in the 33rd minute of play.
Shortly after the second-half began, centre-back Matej Maglica was sent off the pitch after receiving a controversial red card. This is when the Foals started their comeback. Theoson Siebatcheu gingerly put the ball in the back of the net after Rocco Reitz served it to him on a silver platter in the 56th minute.
Neuhas and Tomáš Čvančara scored a goal apiece late in the game to complete Gladbach’s comeback, which may be one of the best Bundesliga 2023 highlights so far.
Gladbach will surely be fired-up and carrying great momentum for their match against Leipzig.
History
Even though these clubs are on different ends of the league table as of the moment, Leipzig have struggled to win games in Borussia-Park. Mönchengladbach have won each of their last three Bundesliga matches against Leipzig at home.
In recent form, Leipzig have been playing magnificent football in Bundesliga this season. They are currently third in the league table with nine points. They won three of their last four matches and eight of their last nine league matches across multiple seasons.
It’s been a rocky start for the Foals this season. They have yet to win a match and have lost two of their first 4 games. Gerardo Seoane and his team are currently 14th in the league table with a -4 goal difference.
Betting Tip
The Bundesliga 2023 betting odds at SBOTOP have Leipzig as the favourite to win the match at 1.54. No surprises here. These two teams are evidently mismatched, given their forms to start the season. Mönchengladbach are priced at 4.50, and 4.30 to draw.
My betting tip for this match is over 3.25 total goals. Leipzig have scored at least three goals in every league match this year, except for their defeat against Leverkusen, where they scored two. They also started their Champions League campaign with a 3-1 win over Young Boys. I guess what I’m trying to say is that the boys from Saxony aren’t shy when it comes to netting goals.
With all that being said for Leipzig, the Foals aren’t strangers to goal-getting as well. They’ve modestly scored eight goals this season. They even sneaked in a goal against the undefeated Bayern. Another good line I’d recommend is RB Leipzig -1.0 at 1.91. With Leipzig’s impressive form and Mönchengladbach’s shaky defence, expect that Marco Rose’s team will have a decisive win in Borussia-Park.
