Borussia Monchengladbach vs. Eintracht Frankfurt – Prediction (Bundesliga – 27.10.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Borussia Mönchengladbach have ground out just one draw in their last nine home fixtures with Eintracht Frankfurt (W5, L3). With no draws in the hosts’ last seven Bundesliga matches overall, current form suggests that a winner should be crowned in the 100th competitive meeting between these sides. Denis Zakaria (BMG) has been shown a yellow card in four of his last eight appearances for club and country. The hosts enjoy the finest win rate as a favourite (80%, W4, D1) in the Bundesliga after eight rounds, thanks in part to some commanding performances beyond the 60th minute mark. Significantly, if counting only that period alone, Mönchengladbach boast a league-best goal difference of +6.

Frankfurt have gone four Bundesliga away games without scoring a first-half goal. Despite opening the scoring (inside the first 15 minutes) just three times, Mönchengladbach maintain a perfect record when doing so (P3, W3). The last three Bundesliga H2H matches have seen eight separate goal scorers.

They go up against a Frankfurt side that have registered two or more goals in five of their last six league matches (W3, D2, L1). That does not translate to their Bundesliga away form though, with the visitors defeated in four of their last five Bundesliga away games, losing the first half ‘to-nil’ in the last three defeats within that sequence. Gonçalo Paciência (FRA) has recorded his team’s opening goal on three occasions this Bundesliga season, twice away from home. This fixture’s long-running history also suggests that they struggle to bust the net early on, as the last seven Bundesliga H2Hs have produced under 1.5 first-half goals. Furthermore, just one of the last seven Bundesliga/cup H2H meetings has produced over 2.5 total goals, whilst just two of the last seven Bundesliga clashes have seen both teams score.
