H2H: Hoffenheim vs. Borussia Monchengladbach – Score prediction (28.09.2019)

Overview.

Just one win in five Bundesliga games is Hoffenheim’s worst league start since the 2015/16 campaign. What’s more they are the Bundesliga’s joint-lowest scorers with a paltry four goals, three of which (75%) came in their only win of the season at home to Werder Bremen – no side has scored in fewer games this term. The 3-0 loss at home to Freiburg means it’s now three defeats at the Wirsol Rhein-Neckar Arena in the last four league games. The last three of those actually saw Hoffenheim down ‘to nil’ at half-time, with a goal conceded in each game in the eight minutes leading to the break.

Borussia Mönchengladbach have made a strong start to the Bundesliga season and will be in confident mood having won their last two league games. Their win at Cologne in their last away match made it their third straight Bundesliga away success (two this season), conceding just one goal in this sequence. Their defensive record of five goals conceded at 1.0 average goals per game is only bettered by four teams. In addition, Gladbach are one of just six teams to have kept two clean sheets after five rounds of Bundesliga matches.
