The German Bundesliga continues this weekend and on Saturday the 17th of April we have a meeting between Borussia Mönchengladbach and Eintracht Frankfurt.
The match will be played at the Stadion im Borussia-Park, with the hosts beginning the weekend in 8th place on 40 points and the visitors in 4th place on 53 points, making this an important fixture in terms of the European places.
Borussia Mönchengladbach come into the game having picked up a point in a 2-2 draw at Hertha Berlin last weekend. Having had their goalkeeper sent off in the early stages of the game, Borussia Mönchengladbach did well to come back and take a 2-1 lead.
They conceded the equaliser shortly after half time but managed to hold on with 10 men to take a point, which was a good result considering the circumstances.
That result means Borussia Mönchengladbach are undefeated in each of their last 3 Bundesliga fixtures, with victories over Schalke away and Freiburg at home adding to the point from last weekend.
However, Borussia Mönchengladbach’s overall form has been poor and they have won only 2 of their last 12 matches in all competitions.
Recent results at home in the Bundesliga have been disappointing and Borussia Mönchengladbach have lost 3 of their last 4 on home soil.
Trends show in Borussia Mönchengladbach's last 4 games in the Bundesliga there have been over 2.5 goals scored.
Eintracht Frankfurt come into the match having defeated Wolfsburg 4-3 at home last weekend. Eintracht Frankfurt led the game 2-1 at half-time only for the visitors to score an equaliser immediately in the second half.
It did not take long for Eintracht Frankfurt to retake the lead and they extended their advantage in the 61st minute before conceding a third goal near the end of the game.
That result means Eintracht Frankfurt are undefeated in their last 5 Bundesliga fixtures and there have been wins over Union Berlin and Borussia Dortmund in addition to the victory over Wolfsburg.
Away form in the Bundesliga shows Eintracht Frankfurt are difficult to beat and they have tasted defeat only once in their 8 most recent away games.
Trends show both teams have scored in each of Eintracht Frankfurt’s last 7 matches in all competitions. Eintracht Frankfurt have scored 2 or more goals in 6 of their last 8 away league fixtures.
Team news and Borussia Mönchengladbach will be without first choice goalkeeper Yann Sommer, who is suspended along with Christoph Kramer.
Lars Stindl, Nico Elvedi, Jonas Hofmann, Torben Müsel, and Julio Villalba are unlikely to feature due to injury.
Eintracht Frankfurt travel without the injured quartet of Ragnar Ache, Jabez Makanda, Martin Hinteregger, and Almamy Toure.
This is a game in which we expect to see both teams score. Eintracht Frankfurt need the victory to cement their place in the Champions League qualifying positions but may be forced to settle for a point in a 1-1 draw.
