Borussia Monchengladbach vs. Freiburg: Match Prediction
Julian Schuster's side has struggled offensively. In the current championship, Freiburg has scored 38 goals – the fewest in the top half of the table. Moreover, only six clubs in the league have fewer goals. The team has managed to score more than once in just two of their last 10 Bundesliga matches. However, during this period, Freiburg has shown decent defensive performances, recording 6 clean sheets. Away from home, Schuster's side has scored only 12 goals – the worst in the tournament.
Monchengladbach, in their last 8 home league games, scored more than once only against Bochum and Holstein – two of the most unreliable defenses in the league. Meanwhile, Borussia has been solid defensively, conceding a maximum of one goal in 8 of their last 10 home Bundesliga matches.
Additionally, no more than three goals have been scored in 11 of the last 14 head-to-head meetings between the opponents at Borussia's home ground in the league. This is another factor supporting the prediction: Total under 3 goals
