Borussia Monchengladbach vs Koln Prediction and Betting Tips | October 9, 2022
Borussia Monchengladbach will host Koln at the Borussia-Park on Sunday (October 9) afternoon in the Bundesliga.
The hosts have had mixed results this season, running out of steam after a positive start. They were at the receiving end of a 5-1 thrashing against newly promoted Werder Bremen in their last league outing. Monchengladbach found themselves four goals down before Marcus Thuram scored a consolation just after the hour mark.
Monchengladbach are ninth in the league table with 12 points from eight games. They will now look to shake off their latest result and get their campaign back on track this weekend.
Koln, meanwhile, have also had their struggles in the league this season. However, they returned to winning ways with a 3-2 comeback win over Borussia Dortmund, thanks to second-half goals from Florian Kainz, Steffen Tigges and Dejan Ljubicic. They were, however, beaten 1-0 by Partizan in the UEFA Europa Conference League in midweek and will look to bounce back here.
The visitors are seventh in the standings, just one point above their weekend opponents, and will look to widen that gap this weekend.
