Borussia Monchengladbach vs. Holstein Kiel: Match Prediction
Gerardo Seoane's side plays attacking football at home, having scored 14 goals in 7 home games in the current championship. Defensively, things are less stable, with the team conceding 10 goals over the same period. As a result, the "Both Teams to Score – Yes" bet has come through in 6 of Borussia's last 8 home Bundesliga matches.
Holstein doesn't sit back in their away championship matches, having scored in their last 6 away games in this tournament. However, Marcel Rapp's side's defense has not been reliable in away games, conceding in those same 6 matches.
I anticipate that both teams will score in the upcoming match. My prediction: Both Teams to Score – Yes
