Sandhausen vs Borussia Monchengladbach
This weekend Sandhausen will face a big test against Borussia Monchengladbach. They met in the first round of DFB Pokal, which was planned to be held at Hardtwaldstadion. The host also received status as an underdog as a representative of Bundesliga 2.
Yes, Sandhausen deserves that status after last season only finishing 15th out of 18 total participants. That is, they do not need to enter the play-offs to survive in this competition because it landed directly above the yellow zone. This year they are also predicted to return to finish at the bottom of the board after undergoing the opening two games with a score of 1-1 at home to Holstein Kiel, then lost 0-1 to Osnabrueck as host.
Borussia Monchengladbach should win easily against opponents like this, especially if they only lost once during the preseason against Atl Bilbao, while the remaining 6 won and 1 draw, namely against Chelsea. During this period they even scored 26 goals and conceded only 8 times.
A visit to Hardtwaldstadion will be the first official assignment for Borussia Monchengladbach before appearing in the Bundesliga against Schalke 04 next weekend. Of course they want to achieve maximum results even though this will be their first visit there. A wealth of experience in the Bundesliga and European contests will help them to win with a landslide score.
Our Prediction: Over 2.5
Odds: 1.65
