Borussia Monchengladbach resume their Bundesliga campaign after a disappointing trip to Manchester on Wednesday. A Pep Guardiola tutored Manchester City defeated them 4-0 at the Etihad, inflicting the second defeat in a competitive match inside 4 days. The Borussians started their Bundesliga season with a 2-1 home win over Bayer Leverkusen. But they were defeated by the newly promoted Freiburg on matchday two by a thumping 3-1 margin. Their head-coach Andre Schubert will be keen to get his team together as his team prepare for another tough test in the domestic competition on Saturday evening.
Werder Bremen have struggled on all fronts in their opening two Bundesliga matches. They started off with a humiliating 6-0 loss to Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena. And were against beaten at home by a brilliant Augsburg on matchday 2. Still in search for their first win, Borussia-Park is a not a venue that Bremen fancy to visit.
Monchengladbach vs Werder Bremen: Head-to-Head Stats
Borussia Monchengladbach are unbeaten in the last five home matches against Werder Bremen in Bundesliga meetings. They will come to this match on the back of a three match winning run at home. In the corresponding fixture of last season, the Borussians rallied to a 5-1 win, before two 4-1 wins in the previous two seasons.
Werder Bremen have managed 1 win in the last six league meetings with Gladbach on all venues, while they lost 4 and drew 1.
Monchengladbach vs Werder Bremen: Prediction
Gladbach are a pretty strong side while playing in front of their home fans. They are currently on an 8-match winning run at home in Bundesliga. Also, they failed to win just twice in their last 17 league games at the Borussia-Park.
While Werder Bremen are on a poor run away from home and lost in 7 of their last 10 matches on the road. Combined this with their heavy defeats in each of their last three visits to Gladbach, the home side are strong favourites to win this won. And if the stats are to be trusted they will be in for another hammering on Saturday evening.
