Prediction for Borussia Monchengladbach vs. Leipzig
With the arrival of spring, Gladbach has shown excellent scoring form: in three league matches, the team has scored 8 goals. However, Borussia's opponents contributed to the goal fest. Heidenheim and Werder are among the four worst clubs in terms of goals conceded, and Seoane's side scored a total of seven goals against these opponents. However, at home, Gladbach has not scored more than once in 5 of their last 7 Bundesliga games. The upcoming game will have to be played without their top scorer, who was sent off in the last round.
Leipzig's last three away league games ended 0-0. Strong defensive play has characterized Marco Rose's side for most of the season, but they are currently struggling in attack. The team has not scored more than one goal in 5 of their last 6 away matches in this tournament.
In addition, in the last five head-to-head league meetings between the teams, there have been no more than three goals. This is another factor in favor of the prediction: Total under 3.5 goals
