Borussia M’bach vs. RB Leipzig – RB Leipzig host Borussia Monchengladbach on Monday night in the Bundesliga. The visitors lost their unbeaten record last weekend before winning a tight Europa League match on Thursday, while the hosts scored a late equaliser in a six-goal thriller against Freiburg.
Last Saturday, Gladbach looked to have supplied the perfect answer to their derby humiliation by grabbing an early two-goal lead at high-flying Freiburg. Ramy Bensebaini opened the scoring from the penalty spot, before Breel Embolo doubled their lead in a counter-attacking start.
Adi Hutter’s side fell behind 3-2 after a terrible second half, before skipper Lars Stindl came off the bench to score a late equaliser. Although the late equaliser aided their opponents that day and helped Leipzig on Monday, the outcome meant little to Die Fohlen.
Gladbach are 11th in the Bundesliga, with fewer points than the relegation zone With only two wins in their past nine home games, Borussia-hosts Park’s will seek to conclude the season on a high and give their fans something to cheer about in the final weeks of the Bundesliga campaign.
Während the hosts have nothing to play for in the final weeks of the 2021-22 season, Leipzig are fighting on three fronts. The DFB-Pokal final versus Freiburg is at the end of May, and the 1-0 win over Rangers gives Die Roten Bullen a slight lead over Glasgow in their Europa League semi-final next Thursday.
The Scottish champions frustrated Domenico Tedesco’s side for lengthy spells and limited the crucial Christopher Nkunku to nothing in front of goal. The Frenchman missed Leipzig’s two greatest chances on the night, but a late volley from Angelino gave the Bundesliga side a 1-0 lead going into the second leg on Thursday. The focus must return to the Bundesliga ahead of Monday’s trip to Gladbach, with Leipzig still having plenty to play for.
Borussia M’bach vs. RB Leipzig – Betting Analysis
Due to Gladbach’s late equaliser against fifth-placed Freiburg, Tedesco’s side lost their three-point lead in the Champions League positions. The late collapse, with two Union goals in the final five minutes of normal time, ruined Leipzig’s 15-game unbeaten run in all competitions, but the visitors will be out to reclaim their position in next season’s Champions League at Borussia-Park.
This result may depend on the hosts’ character to go on in the final few games of the season despite having little to play for, and the visitors’ fitness between Europa League semi-final ties Despite Gladbach’s lack of quality and consistency this season, Leipzig should eke out a close victory here.
