Borussia Monchengladbach vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction: Visitors to prevail

Borussia Monchengladbach will be hoping to turn their Bundesliga fortunes around when they host Eintracht Frankfurt at Borussia-Park on Saturday (17:30 BST, Sky Sports Football). Die Fohlen are still searching for their first win of the season, while the visitors have lost two games on the bounce.

Read on for my Borussia Monchengladbach vs Eintracht Frankfurt predictions, featuring the latest team news and match odds.

Team News

Gladbach have a lengthy injury list to deal with heading into the weekend, with their attacking options depleted right now.

Tim Kleindienst (meniscus), Robin Hack (meniscus) and Nathan N'Goumou (Achilles) are all sidelined for Die Fohlen, while Giovanni Reyna (thigh) and Franck Honorat (muscle) are both doubts to be involved.

In their absence, the interim boss Eugen Polanski could turn to Shuto Machino to lead the line again, aided by attacking midfielders Kevin Stoger and Jens Castrop.

Defender Fabio Chiarodia was substituted with a calf issue late on in last Sunday's draw with Bayer Leverkusen, so if he is unable to feature we could see a rare appearance from Marvin Friedrich.

Football Odds

Frankfurt striker Jessic Ngankam is out with a broken leg until next month, so expect to see Elye Wahi start up top on Saturday.

Boss Dino Toppmoller has been forced to deploy natural centre-back Nnamdi Collins at right-back due to Rasmus Kristensen's hamstring problem, but with Collins developing a thigh issue recently, Aurele Amenda may be summoned to play there.

Borussia Monchengladbach vs Eintracht Frankfurt Odds

Gladbach are winless in the top flight this season but they are 2/1 to get off the mark here, with the visitors having lost their previous two league outings.

Two of their games have ended in a stalemate, and the draw is priced at 11/4.

Frankfurt are 6/5 (implied probability of 45.5%) to come away with the three points, and they have won three of the past five meetings across all competitions.

Twelve of the last 14 Bundesliga matches between the two clubs have seen both teams score and BTTS is marketed at 4/9.

Eintracht Frankfurt to win @ 6/5

Despite losing their two most recent appearances in the league, I think there is value in backing Frankfurt to win in Monchengladbach because their hosts have had a troubling start to the season.

The poor start led to Gerardo Seoane losing his job and U23s coach Polanski is currently overseeing first-team matters while the hierarchy try to get the next appointment right.

This uncertainty should play into the visitors' hands, as they know exactly what they are doing. Die Adler have had no issues in front of goal, scoring 22 goals over the six games they have played across all competitions.

Gladbach will be slightly lifted after their point at Leverkusen last weekend, in which they scored their first league goal of the campaign. However, their lack of attacking options right now is really hurting their chances of turning their situation around, so I think their woes will continue this weekend.

Both teams to score @ 4/9

BTTS was a successful bet in Gladbach's latest outing in the Bundesliga and I think this is a market worth backing on Saturday, because it has been a frequent winner when they face Frankfurt in the league.

As I mentioned earlier, 12 of the previous 14 Bundesliga contests between the two clubs have seen them both getting on the scoresheet, including each of the last four played at Borussia-Park.

Additionally, there have been goals at both ends in each of Eintracht Frankfurt's past five games across all competitions heading into Saturday.
