RB Leipzig vs Borussia Monchengladbach Prediction and Betting Tips
RB Leipzig host Borussia Monchengladbach at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday (March 11) in the Bundesliga.
The hosts have had mixed results recently but remain alive in the race for the Bundesliga. Leipzig lost 2-1 to in-form Borussia Dortmund in their last league outing. They were already two goals down before Emil Forsberg netted a close-range consolation strike in the second half for his third league strike in as many games. Leipzig are fourth in the standings with 42 points from 23 games.
Monchengladbach, meanwhile, have had their struggles this season, finding themselves in the bottom half of the league table. They drew goalless against Freiburg in their last game. Monchengladbach perhaps deserved more from the game but squandered their chances before Ramy Bensebaini's second-half dismissal. The visitors are mid-table in tenth place with 30 points from 23 games.
