Game: MONCHENGLADBACH vs BOCHUM
Type: GERMAN BUNDESLIGA
Date: 20 March, 2009
PREVIEW
Sitting precariously at 16th position, Monchengladbach knows that they will need to win as many matches as possible to avoid being relegated. They have been in good form lately, winning their last 2 matches by 4-2 and 4-1. Is this a sign of recovery? Their home scoring average is 1.58 goals per match but more defensively they are still struggling by conceding an average of 1.83.
Apart from Hannover, Bochum is the other remaining team in the league yet to register an away win. Nevertheless, the visitors have only lost 5 times out of 11 away matches. They will be hoping that history repeats itself in this match as they have never lost to Monchengladbach in the last 5 meetings.
KWIK STATS
HOME > MONCHENGLADBACH
AWAY > BOCHUM
THE PICK
Monchengladbach might be on a good run, but all good runs must come to an end. BOCHUM sits just a rung above the home team, and they will be fighting for their lives to stay ahead and avoid the relegation zone. I'd go with them on the handicap.
