Match Prediction: Borussia Monchengladbach vs. Werder Bremen
Both teams have struggled at the start of this season, but I see more chances for Werder in this head-to-head. Borussia Monchengladbach has been performing poorly even with home support: in their last eight home Bundesliga matches, the club has won only once, suffering four defeats in that stretch. Moreover, they have conceded a lot of goals: 14 goals have been scored against Borussia during this period.
Werder often achieves positive results away from home: in their last six away league matches, the team has suffered only one defeat, claiming four victories. One of these wins was against Bayer Leverkusen in Leverkusen (2-0). Additionally, Bremen has shown excellent attacking form during this period, scoring a total of 14 goals.
I believe the visitors can perform well in this match and at least avoid defeat. My prediction: Werder win or draw
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their previous match in this tournament.
