VfL Wolfsburg are flying at 3rd, while Borussia Mönchengladbach are lagging 6 points behind in the league standings. Can they cut the gap?
- VfL Wolfsburg have not yet lost a game at home.
- Borussia Mönchengladbach have lost all their away matches so far.

VfL Wolfsburg form and stats
VfL Wolfsburg have collected seven points from their first three Bundesliga games here at VOLKSWAGEN ARENA, a promising start.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Wolfsburg, who played 1-1 against Sevilla. That match was also played at this venue (VOLKSWAGEN ARENA). Renato Steffen (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.61/10. Steffen scored one goal and hit one key pass.
A Bundesliga defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Hoffenheim.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 Wolfsburg have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 13 games) they have won six times, drawn three and lost four.
Wolfsburg are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. As for guarding their own goal, Wolfsburg have only let in 1 goal at home.
Borussia Mönchengladbach form and stats
No Bundesliga points yet away for Borussia Mönchengladbach, from their first 3 matches. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Mönchengladbach's last three away games as they have all been lost.
The supporters enjoyed Borussia Mönchengladbach's previous game versus Borussia Dortmund (placed 4th), a Bundesliga 1-0 win played at home. Defender Nico Elvedi was the best team player with a rating of 7.64. Elvedi won 3 of 4 duels.
A 0-1 defeat away at Augsburg before that.Mönchengladbach are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is one win, one draw and one defeat. From a total of three matches.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Mönchengladbach's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. The Borussia Mönchengladbach manager A. Hütter has some worries about the defense as 7 goals have been conceded in these travels.
