RB Leipzig vs Borussia Monchengladbach Prediction: Can RB Leipzig bounce back from the loss?

RB Leipzig will face their next hurdle on Saturday at Red Bull Arena against Borussia M'gladbach, who are looking to finish the season on a high note. RB Leipzig's ambitions of qualifying for the Champions League will be put to the test there. Leipzig will be looking to recapture their momentum and solidify their place near the top half of the table after suffering their first loss of the season in the league to Borussia Dortmund.

Recently, RB Leipzig, who are now in second place in the Bundesliga with 20 points, suffered a disheartening defeat at the hands of Borussia Dortmund by a score of 2-1. Although Dortmund's patchwork defence contained midfielders Emre Can and Pascal Gross, the team managed by Marco Rose was unable to capitalize on the situation. Over the course of the match, Leipzig was unable to generate any significant opportunities, as they were able to generate fewer than 0.5 xG and no significant chances. There has been a lack of consistency in the team's performance over the past few weeks, as they have suffered three defeats and two victories in their most recent five matches across all competitions.

Borussia Monchengladbach is coming off of a dominant 4-1 victory over Werder Bremen, in which they led 3-0 lead by the time the first half was completed. This outcome will be something that Manager Gerardo Seoane will be delighted with, particularly in light of the recent pressure and rumours that have been circulating about a possible managerial change. 

RB Leipzig

In light of the fact that they limited Rose's team to less than 0.5 xG and offered them no significant opportunities, it is possible that the fact that BVB were deserving winners will be even more troubling. As a result of Celtic's 3-1 victory over Die Roten Bullen in the Champions League on Tuesday, Die Roten Bullen have suffered their fourth consecutive defeat in front of European competition.

This season, the home team has been outstanding in the domestic competition, and they have the best defensive record in the league, having only allowed five goals to be scored against them.

Leipzig's overall performance in their five most recent matches has been inconsistent, with the team losing three and winning two of those matches. However, Leipzig did win all four of their top-flight matches before to their loss to Dortmund.

Borussia Monchengladbach

Borussia Monchengladbach were winning 3-0 by the half-time interval against Werder Bremen and were already up 4-0 by the time Keke Topp managed to pull one back for the Green-Whites.

Boss Gerardo Seoane will be relieved that his team managed to pick up a win considering there were rumours that he could soon be replaced, but sporting director Roland Virkus spoke positively about Seoane in the aftermath of the club's victory.

Die Fohlen have scored 15 times and conceded 14 goals in their nine Bundesliga games this term, and this makes the league's seventh-best offensive and joint-eighth-best defensive club. Over their last three top-flight matches, Seoane's side have won twice and drawn once, though they did lose three of the previous four.

Borussia Monchengladbach's away form is particularly poor, with the team winning just twice in their last 18 Bundesliga games on the road, succumbing to defeat on 10 occasions.

Expert Betting Tips

In spite of the fact that they have lost their previous two matches, RB Leipzig have been playing really well at home for quite some time. It is difficult to imagine how the visitors might possibly cause Die Roten Bullen any problems.

If Borussia Monchengladbach were to concede early, it would not be shocking if they had a difficult time getting back into the game.
