Preview

Match preview

Borussia Monchengladbach host 1899 Hoffenheim at Borussia-Park in a meeting between two sides currently occupying the automatic relegation places in the Bundesliga. Monchengladbach sit bottom of the table in 18th place having lost all five of their opening league matches, conceding 18 goals while collecting zero points.

Hoffenheim travel to Monchengladbach in 17th position with three points from five games, having picked up one win and four defeats. While they have struggled to prevent opponents from creating chances and have yet to keep a clean sheet, their attack has remained active, scoring nine goals and finding the net in every single league fixture so far.

Recent history between these two teams shows an overwhelming tendency towards high-scoring encounters, with their previous ten head-to-head matches averaging 4.8 goals per contest. Given the porous defensive records displayed by both backlines across the opening rounds, another open clash appears probable.
