Borussia Monchengladbach vs Holstein Kiel Prediction: Home team to win and over 3.5 goals anticipated

Last Saturday, Holstein Kiel incurred their fourth consecutive loss when they were defeated by RB Leipzig by a score of 0-2 in their stadium. Once again, Holstein showed a lack of defensive meticulousness by allowing at least two goals to be scored against them in the league for the fourth consecutive consecutive game. With only five points after the first thirteen rounds of the Bundesliga season, Holstein Kiel can still be considered the second-to-last team in the rankings.

They travel to Stadion im-BORUSSIA PARK on Saturday afternoon to clash with Monchengladbach, a team that is currently in the middle of the standings, as part of Matchday No. 14. As the two Borussian teams compete against one another, Monchengladbach comes into the match on the heels of a 1-1 draw with Dortmund.

They put out a respectable performance against one of the most formidable teams in the league, and Kevin Stoger's penalty kick in the second half led to the acquisition of a point that was justly earned.

Borussia Monchengladbach

This season, Borussia Monchengladbach is beginning to establish itself as a respectable power in the Bundesliga; nevertheless, they are having difficulty maintaining consistency. Since the latter half of 2021, when they defeated Wolfsburg and Dortmund in successive draws, Monchengladbach has not been able to record two consecutive victories in the Bundesliga.

It was Gerardo Seoane's team who suffered a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Freiburg at Europa Park in their most recent match, despite having a pretty even distribution of opportunities. In addition to this, Gladbach has little trouble getting into shooting situations, as evidenced by the fact that they have registered the fourth most shots in the Bundesliga through the current season.

Holstein Kiel

Holstein Kiel has had a fairly poor start to the campaign. Last week's 3-1 loss to fellow newly promoted side St. Pauli reinstates the difference in quality between the two former 2. Liga side. However, there have been some bright sparks in the side including Shuto Machino who has netted four goals in the Bundesliga this season.

Also, adding to this sense of positivity, Kiel can take some hope from their 2-2 draw against Bayer Leverkusen in spite of this being back on matchday six. Interestingly enough, the last time Holstein Kiel did face RB Leipzig was in 2014 when both sides were in the 3. Liga.

Expert Betting Tips

This season, Holstein Kiel has forfeited at least two goals in 14 of the 15 competitive games that they have played across all competitions. Considering the last seven league matches, Monchengladbach has only suffered one defeat. They have been in a strong rhythm as of late, and the fact that they were unable to win the previous round against Borussia Dortmund by a score of 1-1 is further evidence of this reality.

There is not much hope for Holstein Kiel in this matchup because Monchengladbach has won four of their past five home matches in the league and drawn one of them. Holstein Kiel has lost ten of the first thirteen games of the season, and they do not have much to hope for in this scenario.
