Borussia Monchengladbach vs FC Koln Prediction and Betting Tips | March 9th 2024
The action continues in round 25 of the German Bundesliga as Borussia Monchengladbach and FC Koln lock horns at Borussia Park on Saturday.
Timo Schultz’s men head into the weekend without a win in their last six away matches across all competitions and will be looking to end this dry spell.
Borussia Monchengladbach failed to pick up consecutive Bundesliga wins for the first time this season as they were held to a 1-1 draw by 10-man Mainz last Saturday.
Prior to that, Gerardo Seoane’s side snapped their five-game winless run on February 24 courtesy of a resounding 5-2 victory over Bochum at Borussia Park.
With 26 points from 24 matches, Monchengladbach are currently 12th in the Bundesliga table but could move level with 10th-placed Augsburg with a win this weekend.
Meanwhile, Koln continued to struggle for results at the wrong end of the table as they fell to a 2-0 defeat against title-chasing Bayer Leverkusen last time out.
Schultz’s men have now gone four consecutive games without a win, losing twice and claiming two draws since a 2-0 victory over nine-man Eintracht Frankfurt on February 3.
With 17 points from 24 matches, Koln are currently 16th in the league table, eight points behind 15th-placed Bochum just above the relegation playoff spot as the season approaches its business end.
