Borussia Mönchengladbach – Eintracht Frankfurt: Match preview
Borussia come into this game on the back of two consecutive victories and are fighting for a European spot. They currently sit seventh in the table with 30 points after 20 matches. They are just one point behind the sixth-placed team and three points behind Leipzig in fourth. However, the competition is fierce, as the gap between fourth and 11th place in the Bundesliga is just four points.
Eintracht are currently third in the standings and have built a comfortable cushion over the fifth-placed team. With 38 points from 20 matches, they lead their nearest challenger by six points. However, Frankfurt are on a three-game winless streak, including a recent draw in the Bundesliga. Notably, Eintracht have netted 45 goals this season, making them the third-best attacking side in the league. While they have a strong chance of securing a Champions League spot, the battle will be anything but easy despite their current advantage.
Probable lineups
- Borussia Mönchengladbach: Nicolas; Scally, Itakura, Elvedi, Ullrich; Sander, Weigl; Ngoumou, Stöger, Hack; Čvančara

Prediction
Both teams are in the hunt for European qualification, which makes this an exciting and closely contested fixture. With both sides fairly even in terms of quality, I’m backing a total over three goals in this match, with odds of 1.8.
