FC Koln vs B. Monchengladbach Prediction & Betting tips
The Rhenish Derby will take place on the 28th day of the 1. Bundesliga in the RheinEnergie Stadion between 1.FC Köln and Borussia Mönchengladbach. Both teams want to be in the Europa League, so a three is already compulsory in achieving this goal.
FC Koln :
The Cologne players play an excellent season so far and are surprisingly good in the table. With 40 points, the Rhinelanders are ranked 5th in the table – ten points are already left for the table, so the focus is also on the pursuers, and currently the advantage of the table grid is two. The table image can thus change significantly after only a few days, because from position 5 – 11 all teams have realistic chances to reach the Europa League. It would have earned the Cologne, because in the current season was their weakest place of the 7th place, otherwise you could always get involved.
One reason for this is the strength of the home, because in 13 home games, the goatbones have lost only one game and come seven victories and five draws. On the last four games Cologne lost only the away game in Hamburg (1: 2), otherwise there were victories over Berlin (4: 2) and Frankfurt (1: 0) as well as a draw in Ingolstadt (2: 2). In the absence of Yuya Osako, it was Milos Jojic who was able to take a close look. The 25-year-old Serbe, who often sat on the bench in the first round, could meet in the last two games and will most likely start against Gladbach in the head office. On the outside, however, there could be changes. For Christian Clemens, Leonardo Bittencourt could go into the team. Artjoms Rudnevs, Sehrou Guirassy, Yuya Osako and Marcel Risse will be missing.
B. Monchengladbach :
As in the previous season, the foals also suffered a weak first round this season. In the previous round they were able to stabilize considerably and orient themselves towards the top. Meanwhile you are in a promising position 9 – with 36 points you are only four points behind the international starting places and with a victory this residue would be significantly shortened. The strong performances of the Gladbacher are without doubt due to Dieter Hecking. He took over the team on 17. Matchday only three defeats. Otherwise, the former Wolfsburg won six wins and two draws. After a small low with two defeats and a draw followed an important 1-0 home win over Hertha BSC Berlin during the week. With this success, Gladbach can dream of Europe again.
Worth mentioning: In the current season Gladbach could already hold the zero in ten games. In 15 of their 27 games, at least one team remained goalless. Dieter Hecking lastly made a small surprise by playing Laszlo Bénes from the start. The Slovakians repaid the trust with the victor. Even without this hit, he was very striking about his playing style. Especially the passport and the technique of the Slovakians were impressive. He should be in the starting line again. The absence of Christoph Kramer, Mamadou Doucouré, Tony Jantschke and Fabian Johnson will continue.
