Hoffenheim vs Borussia Mönchengladbach: prediction & betting odds 21 Dec 2024
Betting tips 21 Dec 2024
The upcoming clash between Hoffenheim and Borussia Mönchengladbach could deliver that coveted victory for either side. Borussia Mönchengladbach might have a better chance of securing points, as they have shown greater stability over the distance.
Since the managerial change during the November international break, Hoffenheim have secured just one win in six matches. While they deserve praise for their draw against Borussia Dortmund (1:1), they benefited from some favourable officiating decisions. Hoffenheim remain one of the weakest in terms of creativity, with 19.23 xG over 14 Bundesliga matches, ranking sixth from the bottom.
An emphatic 4:1 victory over Holstein Kiel lifted Borussia M'gladbach to 11th in the league, just two points shy of the European spots. Against the underdogs, the French duo Alassane Pléa and Franck Honorat produced two goals and two assists, and the club's top scorer Tim Kleindienst (9+4 in the tournament) found the net in the first minute. With their current form, the team from Mönchengladbach appear ready for further victories.
Hoffenheim's defensive issues shouldn't be overlooked, with an xGA of 27.42—an aspect worse than only three clubs in the league. Borussia Mönchengladbach are aiming for European competition qualification this season, so against an inconsistent opponent, they should at least secure a draw.
