Before the Round – Trends on Bundesliga (02/03-03/03)

1748

The battle for the Bundesliga’s top four is heating up, as RB Leipzig are just one point off the Champions League qualifying places.

Meanwhile, Eintracht Frankfurt are looking to improve their form to challenge for the Champions League places down the stretch.

Bochum - RB Leipzig

RB Leipzig are on a rotten run of form and now outside the top four. The Red Bulls took just seven points from their last six matches. They are coming off a 2-1 loss to Bayern Munich last time out.

Bochum just can’t get away from the relegation zone. Despite defeating Bayern Munich 3-2 two weeks ago, VFL are coming off a 5-2 loss away to Borussia Monchengladbach. Eight points separate Bochum from the relegation zone.

Bochum took points off RB Leipzig in the reverse fixture courtesy of a nil-nil draw. Indeed, Bochum are unbeaten in their last two games versus RB Leipzig. They kept clean sheets in both games, winning 1-0 last season at home before this season’s nil-nil draw.

• No defeats can be found in VfL Bochum's 8 most recent home games in all competitions.
• In RB Leipzig's 8 latest away matches from all competitions, both teams scored.
• VfL Bochum conceded an average of 2.00 goals in their matches in all competitions.
• RB Leipzig haven't been defeated by VfL Bochum in 9 of their last 10 all competitions matches.
• Prediction: RB Leipzig

FC Heidenheim - Eintracht Frankfurt

Eintracht Frankfurt can’t buy a win. The Eagles failed to win their last four league matches, drawing three games and losing once. Frankfurt have a record of 3W-5D-4L and a goal difference of -2 on the road.

FC Heidenheim took just one point from their last two games in the Bundesliga. They were beaten 2-1 by Bayer Leverkusen and drew 2-2 with Union Berlin. Heidenheim are in good form at home and are unbeaten in five of their last six games on home turf.

These teams met for the first time in the Bundesliga earlier this season, with Eintracht Frankfurt posting a 2-0 win. Heidenheim saw over 2.5 goals in their last three league matches.

• Heidenheim are undefeated in 24 of their last 28 home all competitions games.
• Eintracht Frankfurt have drawn their last 3 matches in Bundesliga.
• Heidenheim have achieved just 1 wins of their last 7 Bundesliga games.
• Eintracht Frankfurt are on a poor run of just 3 wins in 23 away matches (Bundesliga).
• Prediction: Both Teams to Score

Mainz - Borussia Monchengladbach

Mainz went unbeaten in their last six matches versus Borussia Monchengladbach. The 05ers won three and drew games during that span. The teams drew 2-2 earlier this season at Borussia Park. Their last two meetings saw over 2.5 goals.

Monchengladbach are coming off a 5-2 win over Bochum. The win ended a five-match winless run in the Bundesliga. Gladbach have conceded the league’s third-most goals, with 45.

Mainz are second from bottom, with just 15 points from 23 games. Ten points now separate them from safety and it looks bleak for the 05ers. Mainz took just four points from the last six matches. The 05ers scored the second-fewest goals this season (18).

• Mainz's form hasn't been good, as the team has won only 2 of their last 28 matches (Bundesliga).
• Mönchengladbach have achieved just 3 wins of their last 30 away all competitions games.
• There have been under 2.5 goals in Mainz's last 7 home all competitions games.
• Mönchengladbach haven't suffered any defeats in 6 of their 7 most recent away meetings with Mainz in all competitions.
• Prediction: Draw

Hoffenheim - Werder Bremen

The trend between these teams is away wins. Indeed, the last three matches between the clubs ended in an away win. Earlier this season, Hoffenheim claimed a 3-2 victory  at Werder Bremen. The last time these teams played at the PreZero Arena, Bremen won 2-1.

The last four matches between the clubs ended with more than 2.5 goals. Bremen went unbeaten in nine of their last 10 Bundesliga matches. The Green and White are in form but European qualification is far away. Bremen won their last three away fixtures.

Hoffenheim won just one of their last six matches in the league. They have been poor in defence this season, conceding 43 times, which is the fourth-most goals in the league. The Hoff have been very poor at the PreZero Arena taking 10 points from 11 games.

• Hoffenheim have achieved just 1 wins in their 9 most recent games in all competitions.
• In their last 3 away games in all competitions, Werder Bremen have managed to keep a clean sheet.
• Under 2.5 goals have been scored in Hoffenheim's last 3 home matches in all competitions.
• Werder Bremen have defeated Hoffenheim in just 2 of their last 14 league games.
• Prediction: Both to Score
