Tsg 1899 Hoffenheim vs Borussia Mönchengladbach: Match Prediction
The Sinsheim side are in excellent form. In their last nine league matches the team have lost only to second-placed Borussia Dortmund (6 wins, 2 draws). In the victories during that run the home side showed strong scoring form, netting at least three goals. Hoffenheim come into the upcoming game on a run of four consecutive home wins in the Bundesliga, during which the club scored 13 goals, although they kept a clean sheet only once.
Since November Borussia Mönchengladbach have started to accumulate clean sheets, but the picture is not entirely straightforward. During this period Borussia Mönchengladbach faced all the teams from the relegation zone, and two of the shutouts were against opponents lower in the table. The club can pick up points against such opponents. Teams from the European places have not been as generous to the visitors.
