Borussia Monchengladbach vs Borussia Dortmund
German Bundesliga, KO: 17:30 Sep 25, 2021, Borussia-Park
The quest to end Bayern Munich’s Bundesliga dominance continues as Borussia Dortmund travel to Borussia-Park for a clash with Borussia Monchengladbach. Dortmund have made a bright start to the season and driven by the impressive Erling Haaland are backed to have the slight edge here.
Borussia Monchengladbach failed to build on their first win of the season as they were beaten 1-0 by Augsburg last time out. They had more of the possession but struggled to create chances and finished without a single attempt on target.
Adi Hutter's men had looked poised for a solid campaign after holding champions Bayern Munich to a 1-1 draw in their opening fixture. They have been poor since, with their only win this season, a 3-1 victory over struggling Armenia Bielefeld.
Monchengladbach have suffered three defeats in five matches this season, the heaviest of which was a 4-1 loss to Bayer Leverkusen. They have failed to keep a single clean sheet this term and have conceded nine goals already.
Borussia Dortmund were victorious in their previous Bundesliga fixture which they won 4-2 against Union Berlin. Erling Haaland netted a brace after Raphael Guerrero had opened the scoring while they also benefitted from an own goal from the visitors.
There were a number of changes in the summer but the Bundesliga is already taking on a familiar pattern with Dortmund chasing Bayern Munich. Marco Rose's men have claimed four wins from five matches and are just one point off the Champions.
As expected, Dortmund’s campaign has been driven by an excellent attack with striker Erling Haaland already in double figures across all competitions. They have however conceded in all five of their Bundesliga fixtures this term.
