Borussia Monchengladbach<\/a> welcome Union Berlin<\/a> to Borussia-Park in a Bundesliga<\/a> match that pits clinical efficiency against sheer attacking volume. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Union have won more of the recent head-to-heads and sit higher in the table, but Monchengladbach boast a stronger record in terms of defensive solidity and shooting accuracy.

Based on both teams’ season-long trends and player form, here are our top betting recommendations for this game.

Borussia Monchengladbach to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n7\/5 @ Planetsportbet<\/a>
(41.7%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nWe are backing Monchengladbach due to their higher shot accuracy (47.7%) and pass accuracy (82.7%), plus more clean sheets (8) this season. Union have struggled for defensive consistency (just 5 clean sheets, 37 conceded), making the home win attractive at a generous price.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Over 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n11\/10 @ Bet365<\/a>
(47.6%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThere could be value here due to both teams\u2019 attacking mindsets. Union have scored 29 goals (1.26 per match) and Monchengladbach 26 (1.13 per match). Their last 13 H2Hs average over 2.5 goals per game. Both sides have leaky defences (Monchengladbach 39 conceded, Union 37), suggesting goals are likely.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
