RB Leipzig vs Borussia Monchengladbach Betting Tips: Over 2.5 Goals / RB to Win

At present, RB Leipzig sits in the fifth position in the Bundesliga standings, having accumulated 37 points, only three points away from Borussia Dortmund, who are in fourth place. On the other hand, Borussia M’gladbach is in 13th place, currently holding 22 points.

The home team had a successful streak at this venue before experiencing a recent decline in performance. RB managed to win six consecutive matches from October to December, but they have lost three out of the four home games played this year. Most recently, Marco Rose’s team faced a 1:0 defeat at home in the Champions League against Real Madrid.

Expectations for goals at the Red Bull Arena are typically high. RB Leipzig has seen over 2.5 goals in 5 of their last 7 home Bundesliga matches. Furthermore, an average of 3.45 goals has been scored in the 11 Bundesliga games they’ve hosted this season.

Monchengladbach, who are visiting, have shown consistent goal statistics this season, especially on their away games. Over 2.5 goals have been recorded in 12 of their last 13 Bundesliga away matches since April 2023, indicating the away side’s high scoring rate. On average, 4.5 goals have been scored in the ten away matches that BMG has played this season.

BMG tends to grapple with defeat on the road, having lost four out of their last five away games. With only one win in their last 18 away matches, the visitors’ track record suggests RB should be able to regain their winning streak.

Historically an entertaining fixture, I expect plenty of goals on Saturday so I’m taking over 2.5 goals as my top tip for this Bundesliga contest, while I also expect the hosts to claim a vital three points.
