Borussia Monchengladbach vs. Cologne: Match Prediction
The hosts have shown weak results in the current Bundesliga season and only achieved their first victory in the last round. Primarily, Borussia Monchengladbach has struggled to be effective in attack. Even at home, the team scores infrequently: in the last 12 home league matches, the players have only scored more than once in two games, and in six matches during this period, they failed to score at all.
Cologne has had mixed success on the road, but the team shows a reasonably reliable defense. In the last 13 away Bundesliga games, the club has only allowed opponents to score more than once in five instances. Specifically, in their last away league match, Cologne conceded only one goal against the high-scoring Borussia Dortmund.
I don't think the hosts will manage to play very effectively, so my prediction: Borussia Monchengladbach Individual Total Under 1.5
