Steffen Schmidt - February 2, 2023

Monchengladbach vs Schalke
German Bundesliga
Date: 4 February 2023, Saturday
Kick-off at 17:30 UK / 18:30 CET
Venue: Stadion im BORUSSIA PARK (Monchengladbach).

Borussia Monchengladbach and Schalke will lock horns in the last game of the day in Bundesliga on Saturday afternoon at Stadion im BORUSSIA PARK.

Both teams got off to rough restarts to their respective campaigns after the winter break but they have both shown improvements in the last weekend’s games.

Borussia thus bounced back from successive defeats by beating Hoffenheim 1-4 seven days ago away in Sinsheim.

Jonas Hofmann produced his best performance of the season with two goals and an assist against Die Kraichgauer.

The 30-year-old German now has 7 goals in 15 appearances and he will no doubts be the main threat to Schalke’s goal on Saturday.

The mentioned victory helped Monchengladbach keep ground on the likes of Eintracht Frankfurt in the potential battle for the European positions as Die Fohlen are now only seven points adrift of the sixth place in the league ladder.

Speaking of the Bundesliga table, Schalke 04 sit at its very bottom after 18 rounds of the competitions.

The Miners from Gelsenkirchen are in huge threat of being dropped to 2. Bundesliga football next season.

They are as many as six points shy of the safe zone and they desperately need to actually start winning games.

Schalke have only managed to win two matches in the league since the beginning of the season and neither of these has come away from home.

Monchengladbach vs Schalke Head-to-head

• Monchengladbach have a great home record against Schalke with 31 wins, 12 draws, and just 6 losses in the last 49 games in this matchup.
• Monchengladbach will go into this on the back of two wins and a draw in the previous three encounters with the Miners.
• Borussia have scored nine goals in these three outings.

Monchengladbach vs Schalke Prediction

Schalke took just two points in eight Bundesliga matches on the road this term with a 4-16 goal difference along the way. Monchengladbach will come into the match on the back of a 1-4 victory at Hoffenheim and they also have tradition to back them up here.

We will back the Home Win & Over 3.5 goals FT pick at the odds of 3.25, while you can alternatively go with the in-form Jonas Hofmann to score anytime at the 2.75 odds.
