Borussia Monchengladbach vs Ipswich predictions: A high-scoring affair
Key stats
- Borussia Monchengladbach are currently on a four-match winning streak.
- Ipswich have also enjoyed some fine form lately, winning three of their last four games.
- Both teams were on the scoresheet in four of Ipswich's last six matches
- Over three goals were scored on average in Borussia Monchengladbach’s last 12 matches, and Ipswich's last five games.
Correct score prediction: Borussia Monchengladbach 2-2 Ipswich
Although Ipswich were one of the best teams in the Championship last season, they suffered a 2-1 defeat against Fortuna Düsseldorf a few days ago. This will likely be a tightly contested clash with another German side, and we believe Kieran McKenna's troops will hold their own this time.
Most recent H2Hs: First meeting between the sides
This will be the first encounter between Borussia Mönchengladbach and Ipswich. Having consistently reached continental tournaments, Mönchengladbach have faced a few English teams over the years. However, Ipswich have been absent from England's top flight for over two decades and have not participated in any European tournaments since then.

Player to watch: Omari Hutchinson
Ipswich spent a reported €23.5 million to secure the services of Omari Hutchinson this summer, after the expiration of his loan deal. The Jamaican player was instrumental in Ipswich's Championship campaign last season. He started 20 of his 44 appearances, scoring 10 times whilst providing fife assists.
As it stands, Hutchinson is yet to play for Ipswich since he was signed from Chelsea this summer. He will likely get some playing time against Monchengladbach.
