Borussia Monchengladbach v Werder Bremen

Borussia Monchengladbach vs Werder Bremen Preview

Borussia Monchengladbach will be looking forward to returning to the more familiar surroundings of their Stadion im BORUSSIA-PARK when they play host to Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga on Friday night following last weekend's heavy 3-1 defeat away from home at Union Berlin while Werder Bremen will be seeking to collect back-to-back wins in the German top flight for the first time this season after they registered a solid 2-0 home win against Augsburg last time out.

That loss away from home at Union Berlin means that Friday night's hosts still remain in a mid-table position of 10th place in the Bundesliga table ahead of this weekend's fixtures and this looks just about right as Borussia Monchengladbach have produced a string of inconsistent results so far in the domestic top flight this term.

Borussia Monchengladbach have managed to capture just four wins overall so far in this campaign but on a positive note, three of these four victories have been achieved on home soil at their Stadion im BORUSSIA-PARK where the hosts have recorded important wins against Heidenheim, Wolfsburg and most impressive of all, a 2-1 win against sixth placed Hoffenheim which will give Friday's hosts reason to be upbeat about their chances here against Werder Bremen.

Werder Bremen moved up the Bundesliga standings into 12th place following their welcome 2-0 home win against Augsburg last weekend and the visitors are now just two points behind Friday's hosts, Borussia Monchengladbach, prior to their upcoming tussle at the Stadion im BORUSSIA-PARK.

However, Werder Bremen have also found collecting league wins a tough task so far in this season's Bundesliga campaign as the visitors have also registered just four wins to date this term with victories against Mainz, Cologne, Union Berlin and Augsburg respectively, all of which have been achieved on home soil at their wohninvest WESERSTADION, while results away from home have been simply woeful.

Indeed, Werder Bremen have their form at home to thank so far this term as the visitors have not only failed to win a game on their travels so far this season but they have also lost five out of their six outings on the road so far in this season's campaign.

The bigger picture shows Werder Bremen have now failed to win any of their last nine away games in the German top flight and they have been handed eight defeats in the process.

Borussia Monchengladbach v Werder Bremen Verdict

Borussia Monchengladbach have lost just four out of their previous 15 home games in the Bundesliga and the hosts should be too strong for a poor-travelling Werder Bremen on Friday night as well, especially as Werder Bremen have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 14 away games.

Therefore, our main bet will be Borussia Monchengladbach win @ 1.95
