Borussia Monchengladbach and Bochum will be looking to rise from losing starts in the Bundesliga when they meet on Saturday. Hosts Bochum lost at Leipzig while Monchengladbach fell at home to Bayer Leverkusen. Read on for our prediction of this match.

Not much was expected from Die Unabsteigbaren’s trip to Leipzig but, still, losing 1-0 indicates they gave a good effort. It was their second straight defeat of the season, having earlier lost to Jahn Regensburg in the DFB Pokal.

Bochum have now managed just a win in their last six matches. Returning home has its own merits; in 23 league games there, they only failed to score once. Notably, though, scoring is rarely a problem for Bochum but defending is.

They have only one clean sheet in the last 20 matches.

Borussia Monchengladbach started their league season on a losing note, falling 3-2 at home to champions Leverkusen. They put in an effort but a stoppage time Florian Wirtz winner undid all their hard work.

Monchengladbach came from 2-0 down and were minutes from picking a point in the game before stumbling very late. They will take important lessons from that, especially in defending. Die Fohlen have now managed just a clean sheet in the last 10 matches.

However, they failed to score in only three of their last 13 league matches. Monchengladbach seek to extend their dominance in this fixture, coming here on three straight wins against Bochum. In those victories, they managed just one clean sheet, but scored 10 goals.

They scored in all the last six meetings with Bochum, but kept two clean sheets.
