Match Prediction: Borussia Dortmund vs. Borussia Monchengladbach
Nico Kovac's side played their last two matches away, earning four points. Now, Dortmund returns to their home ground, where they have struggled to please their fans, winning only two of their last eight Bundesliga matches (3 draws, 3 losses). Notably, they have defeated an opponent by a two-goal margin in one match. Overall, Dortmund has managed just two significant home victories this season.
Monchengladbach, on the other hand, has shown strong performances on the road. Gerardo Seoane's side is unbeaten in their last 5 away Bundesliga matches (4 wins, 1 draw), having already collected more points in this stretch than in the rest of their away fixtures since the start of the season. Even before this period, the team rarely suffered defensive collapses when losing away. This season, Monchengladbach has only suffered one heavy away defeat.
My prediction: Borussia Monchengladbach with a handicap (+2)
