They’ve won three of their previous five games at home along with a 2-1 league loss to Union Berlin and a 1-1 draw against Manchester City in the Champions League.
Christopher Nkunku suffered an injury in the Dortmund game and will miss Saturday’s clash against Monchengladbach. He’s been outstanding so far this season, bagging 17 goals in 27 appearances in all competitions. Timo Werner has accounted for 12 goals in 26 apps, and Andre Silva has recorded nine goals and nine assists across 34 games.

The Foals are coming off Saturday’s nil-nil draw against Freiburg at home. They failed to score for the second straight match, and the Foals have only won two of their eight Bundesliga contests since the World Cup break. Monchengladbach have recorded six losses over their previous seven road games in all competitions.
Left-back Ramy Bensebaini, who’s scored six goals so far this season, is suspended for the upcoming clash against RB Leipzig.

RB Leipzig – Borussia Monchengladbach: Head-to-Head

RB Leipzig – Borussia Monchengladbach Odds
The bookmakers are pretty sure RB Leipzig will come out on top. On paper, the Red Bulls are a better team than the Foals, who have mightily struggled on the road over the last couple of months. We should see a few goals, and the Over 2.5 Goals pays just 1.53 on bet365 Sportsbook.
The Red Bulls should beat the Foals despite missing Christopher Nkunku. RB Leipzig possess plenty of dangerous weapons upfront, and the Foals’ defense has been leaky on the road all season long. Monchengladbach have allowed a thumping 14 goals over their previous six league contests away from home. Hereof, I’ll take the hosts to win by two or more goals. Another interesting wager would be Both Teams to Score YES at 1.75 with bet365. Each of RB Leipzig’s last six home matches has seen both teams score.
