Stuttgart vs. Borussia Monchengladbach: Match Prediction
Recently, Stuttgart has been unimpressive at home. They have lost 6 of their last 7 home Bundesliga matches and have struggled defensively, conceding at least two goals in five of those games, including in their head-to-head against Borussia Monchengladbach. Additionally, in 4 of the last 5 home encounters with this opponent in the league, the team failed to keep a clean sheet.
Gerardo Seoane's team has been inconsistent away, but Borussia strives to be aggressive in attack in every match. The club's scoring ability is impressive: in the last 12 away Bundesliga encounters, they failed to score only against Bayern Munich, and in seven of those games, Borussia players breached the opponents' defense at least twice.
I expect an effective attacking performance from the visitors, and my prediction: Borussia Monchengladbach Individual Total Over 1
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their last match in this tournament.
