Borussia Monchengladbach vs RB Leipzig Prediction

Borussia Monchengladbach are 11th in the Bundesliga and have won two of their last five league games. Adi Hutter's first season as Borussia Monchengladbach manager has seen the club produce inconsistent performances.

🎙️ Adi Hütter ahead of #BMGRBL:

"Leipzig have a very talented team. They picked up many points in the second half of the season. The question that concerns us is what changes they might make to the squad on Monday after their Europa League game against Rangers."

RB Leipzig, on the other hand, are fourth in the league, one point behind third-placed Bayer Leverkusen. They have managed to recover well after an extremely slow start to the season.
