Monchengladbach vs Hannover
Germany – Bundesliga
Date: Sunday, 25 November 2018
Kick-off at 17.00 UK/ 18.00 CET
Venue: Borussia Park, Monchengladbach.
One of the best teams in the German league hosts a team struggling to avoid relegation. Borussia Monchengladbach takes on Hannover 96 at the Borussia Park, this Sunday to complete the twelfth round of the Bundesliga competition.
Hannover recorded a home win last weekend against Wolfsburg. The scoreline read 2-1 at the end of the stipulated ninety minutes. Maina and Bebou got on the scoresheet for Hannover. Later in the 82nd minute, Weghorst pulled back a consolation goal for Wolfsburg.
Monchengladbach was absolutely clinical in despatching Bremen last weekend, despite having the disadvantage of playing on the road. Plea A scored a hattrick for the guests and took the scoreline to 0-3 before Bremen was able to score a lone goal to give back something for the vocal and passionate fans.
Thorgan Hazard provided one of the assists for Plea’s goal. He too, just like his brother Eden, is lighting up the football scene.
The hosts are the absolute favorites for this match. They have dominated head-to-head ties to a skewed extent. Six of the last seven wins are in the name of Monchengladbach. Especially at Borussia Park, Monchengladbach has won 12 of their last 15 games against Hannover.
The league standings alone are enough indication for the result of this match. Monchengladbach is the second team in the table, while Hannover is trying to get off from the relegation zone. But an away match against one of the best teams is not likely to help them achieve their target.
Monchengladbach has scored the second-most goals in Bundesliga so far while conceding the third-least.
Hannover’s only two wins this league season came at home, both of them.
The home team will easily win this match while winning both the halves in the process.
