Borussia Monchengladbach vs Union Berlin: Will the Berliners climb into the top four of the Bundesliga?

The Prussians failed once again in midweek, losing a German cup game to a Bundesliga 2. Surprisingly, Hütter is still the head coach because it's evident that the Austrian has absolutely nothing going for him at Gladbach.

Beating Bayern's semi youth team was undoubtedly pleasing, but it wasn't enough to achieve the final goal. After the sensation in Munich, the Prussians lost on home soil to Bayer and left the German Cup, losing 0:3 to Hannover. At the same time, they played quite a fighting line-up against Hannover. After failing to the 96ers, the Colts came close to a total failure of the season, as the Cup was almost the only opportunity for Borussia to play in European competitions. Before the 20th round, Gladbach is 12th in the table, eight points behind 2 Freiburg, situated in the Eurocup zone. 

Union have a five-match unbeaten streak, drawn against Bayer Leverkusen and beat Hoffenheim at home in the national championship in 2022. They were also stronger than Hertha at the Olympiastadion in the German Cup. Furthermore, they are second to Hoffenheim in the Champions League zone on goal difference. At the same time, Hoffe's opponents in the reporting period were Dortmund, who got off to a great start in the second round. A draw would be unlikely to lift the Berlin side into the top-four, but a win over Gladbach would do that by a wide margin.

Under Hütter, Borussia is degenerating, and the further they go, the less likely it is that the Austrian will turn the Colts into a capable and stable team. However, Union is already such a team. The Berlin team's away results are worse than on the home field, but let's not forget that the matches are played either with empty stands or with a minimum number of spectators. Accordingly, the field factor is eliminated. We believe that Union will bring the points from Gladbach, and we won't be surprised if the team from the capital wins the game. We have the following odds for this game: Handicap 2 (0.25) for 2, W2 for 3.40, Correct Score 1:2 for 12.00.
