Borussia M'gladbach form and stats
Borussia M'gladbach have collected 10 points from their Bundesliga home games so far after 2-4-0. The last three games played by M'gladbach, regardless of arena, have all ended draws.
The home team returns to Stadion im BORUSSIA-PARK after being equal after 90 minutes with Eintracht Frankfurt (placed 10th) on their last time out; the Bundesliga game ended 3-3. Before that, M'gladbach drew at home versus Hertha BSC.
There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against Eintracht Frankfurt as Lars Stindl's goal in the 90th minute completed a cancellation of 1-3 and secured a draw after 90 minutes. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Lars Stindl could bring home the match ball after scoring three goals against Eintracht Frankfurt, but was annoyed the match ended without a win (3-3).
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Borussia M'gladbach have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won three times, drawn two and lost one.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for M'gladbach as they are travelling to their away game against Elversberg in the DFB Pokal. That match is three days after this one.

Hoffenheim form and stats

The manager S. Hoeneß was unhappy after their last game, a Bundesliga match played at their home ground Campo La Quinta (Marbella). Hoffenheim suffered a 0-1 loss to RB Leipzig (placed 3rd). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Bayer Leverkusen wasn't a success with a 1-4 loss.
Hoffenheim are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, two draws and three defeats. From a total of seven matches.
A new game in only three days for Hoffenheim, the DFB Pokal home match versus Greuther Fürth. Busy days.
