Borussia Monchengladbach vs Werder Bremen Preview

Christoph Kramers winner last weekend ended a run of four consecutive losses for Borussia Monchengladbach and they will be looking to build on that win in this game.

They have gotten to within 4 points of a top six place and their European dream is still intact.

They still have some key absentees like Raffael, Fabian Johnson, and Oscar Wendt.

Gladbach are however struggling with goals and ahead of this match, they are the lowest scoring side in the top half and although they usually perform well at home, they have seen under 2.5 goals scored in 67% of their home games this season.

Thorgan Hazard has netted 3 times in his last 3 games against Bremen and with Bremen struggling for form, he could prove the difference here again.

Bremen also come into this game off the back of a priceless win over Hamburg in the North German derby.

Johannsson’s late winner has helped them in their bid to avoid relegation.

They currently have a six points cushion on the automatic relegation spot and a two points cushion on the relegation playoff spots.

They enter this game with just two wins and 6 losses from their last 8 games away from home.

They have lost heir last four meetings on the bounce against Gladbach.
