As we are steadfastly approaching the halfway mark in Bundesliga, this season has proved to be unlike anyother in the league. From being a typically two team title battle, the league has been thrown wide open this time around with a slew of sides being in with a shot of announcing themselves at champions come May.
When the league commences after a hiatus today, we have one such side throwing open the doors of the season once again. Borussia Monchengladbach brought an end to 2019 in second spot in the points tally, a position which no one had envisioned them to occupy when the season had made a foray into the footballing fraternity.
However, with a 0-0 draw to Hertha Berlin the last time around, the side saw their deficit between top spot widen to the two points. They’ll be looking to cut it short when they take on Schalke today, a side who with a 2-2 draw against Freiburg the last time around have managed to muster up just the two wins in their last five encounters.
Probable Winner
Althouhg Schalke have hit a rut off late, the side are unbeaten in ther last 8 outings at home. And when they play infront of their ardent supporters today, they’ll be looking to keep that unblemished spree going.
Things won’t be simple for them though with the side coming across a rampant opposition, one whose attacking impetuous should see it embark on a win today.
