Borussia Monchengladbach vs Union Berlin prediction: Close game on the cards

Key Stats

• Borussia Monchengladbach are in the midst of a seven-match winless run.
• Only Werder Bremen (4) and Heidenheim (3) have earned fewer victories than Borussia Monchengladbach this season.
• Union Berlin are targeting their first set of back-to-back wins since December.
• Union Berlin have only lost three of their last 10 Bundesliga matches.

Correct score prediction: Borussia Monchengladbach 1-1 Union Berlin

Last weekend’s 2-1 loss to Freiburg marked the seventh straight winless game in the Bundesliga for Borussia Monchengladbach.

With the club sitting just two points above the bottom three, tensions are starting to grow amid a potential relegation scrap.

Eugen Polanski’s side are desperate to shake off their winless run, though doing that may prove problematic considering the team has only managed to score four times across their last seven matches.

Putting the ball in the back of the net is not something that Union Berlin have struggled with. In fact, they have scored in 13 of their last 14 Bundesliga outings.

One of those goals came against Bayer Leverkusen last weekend, and it proved to be the winning strike as Die Eisernen ended their seven-match winless run.

Steffen Baumgart and his men will now be looking to bag successive league victories for the first time since December.

Borussia Monchengladbach preview: Injury and suspension blows

With three defeats from their last five games, there are growing concerns that Gladbach could get sucked into the relegation battle.

Polanski’s men will be determined to change that, though picking up a big win over Union Berlin is far easier said than done.

As well as coming up against tough opposition, Gladbach will have to deal with a flurry of absentees in their squad.

Tim Kleindienst, Nathan Ngoumou, Giovanni Reyna and Alejo Sarco are all out of action with injuries.

Rocco Reitz is back from his suspension, and he will swap places with Yannik Engelhardt, who is set to face a one-match ban after picking up a fifth yellow card this season.

Predicted lineup: Nicolas (GK), Takai, Elvedi, Diks, Scally, Reitz, Sander, Engelhardt, Ullrich, Honorat & Tabakovic

Union Berlin preview: Visitors target back-to-back wins

Fresh from their victory over a red-hot Bayer Leverkusen side, Union Berlin will be looking to continue the momentum at Borussia Park this weekend.

The visitors are facing problems with Diogo Leite, Josip Juranovic, Tom Rothe and Robert Skov all spending time on the sidelines with various injuries.

Andrej Ilic will be suspended, and he is expected to be replaced by Scotsman Oliver Burke.

Predicted lineup: Ronnow (GK), Doekhi, Querfeld, Nsoki, Trimmel, Khedira, Kemlein, Kohn, Ansah, Jeong & Burke

Player to watch: Haris Tabakovic

If Borussia Monchengladbach are to have any hope of avoiding relegation, they will need their frontman, Haris Tabakovic, to be at his absolute best.

The Bosnian forward scored last weekend against Freiburg, though his goal proved useless in a 2-1 defeat. The 31-year-old has scored four goals across his last eight matches, and Union Berlin’s defence will need to keep a close eye on him.
