MOB Vs WOL Dream 11 Prediction: Borussia Monchengladbach in urgent need of a win vs Wolfsburg with the gap between the top 4 widening with every defeat.
From clamping down a spot in the top 4 of the Bundesliga before the league broke off due to Coronavirus to currently being shunted out of it, Borussia Monchengladbach find themselves in a rut at the moment. The side is currently the one point behind Bayer Leverkusen in fifth place, gradually seeing the distance between themselves and top 4 ever widening.
Whilst the side won’t be too disgruntled with its 2-1 defeat to Bayern Munich the last time around with the team giving a good account of itself, the fact that it was their second defeat on the bounce will perturb the team. Hindered by injuries, the team has failed to compensate for a hit to its worldclass players with the predicament leaving them with the sole win in their last five encounters.
Unfortunately for the home side, today’s opponents make for an extremely formidable opposition. In this time of peril, 6th placed Wolfsburg is the last side they would have wanted to clash heads with. Although Wolfsburg are themselves stuttering with the side only managing to draw 2-2 the last time around, the team can serve a stern test owing to the well endowed back line at its disposal.
Probable Winner
With Wolfsburg’s biggest strength, their defence taking a hit at the moment, Borussia Monchengladbach should be able to accumulate a much needed win today. They’; just about scram their way to the three points but should manage to do so nonetheless.
