THE LOWDOWN
BORUSSIA MONCHENGLADBACH
Borussia Monchengladbach’s run without a win in the league extended to three matches last time out as they were beaten by reigning champions Bayern Munich, this despite taking the lead on 32 minutes. Conceding just before half-time however, was a big blow and Bayern stepped up a gear in the second half, ultimately coming out on top by three goals to one.
Their recent form may see Gladbach looking over the shoulders right now, with six points currently separating them from the bottom three. They do have goal difference in their favour though, as it stands Gladbach boasts the best goal difference of the entire bottom eight, which could yet prove crucial.
DARMSTADT
Darmstadt’s 13th Bundesliga defeat of the campaign, this time at the hands of table toppers Bayer Leverkusen sees them remain firmly planted at the bottom of the table. With a four-point gap between them and relegation play-offs, not to mention seven points between them and safety entirely, victories are needed and soon.
Conceding goals remains the primary concern and if Gladbach are to score here, it would be the 50th Bundesliga goal conceded by Darmstadt over the course of the season so far. That’s comfortably the leakiest backline in the entirely division and eight goals more than their opponents in this encounter.

THE PREDICTION
For Borussia Monchengladbach, it’s critical that this fixture serves as the one in which they can get back to winning ways. Darmstadt have struggled all season long with the step up in quality and are already looking destined to drop back down, so failure to beat them at home with the obvious quality among the Gladbach line-up would be a huge blow. But expect the hosts to do enough over 90 minutes.
