RB Leipzig vs B. Monchengladbach Prediction & Betting Tips (17 February)

This 2023-2024 season does not quite live up to expectations for Leipzig. Far from showing themselves capable of supporting the best teams in the race for the title, RasenBall Sport must on the contrary fight to try to win a place in the Champions League again. The task also promises to be quite complicated for Marco Rose's men who only occupy 5th place in the ranking with 3 points behind the top 4 after a very difficult start to the calendar year. They have only won once since the winter break, against Union Berlin 2-0, after 3 defeats in a row. But the Red Bulls failed to follow up last week by sharing the points with Augsburg 2-2. This week, they got off to a bad start in their Champions League round of 16 first leg by losing at home against Real 0-1. For their part, Borussia Mönchengladbach must make do with what they have this year.

. Faced with a significant wave of executive departures during the summer transfer window, this team has never really been in good shape this year and it must still fight to ensure its maintenance as quickly as possible. The last performances were not really encouraging for the Poulains who have not won for 4 days. Beaten by Bayern Munich 3-1, they were unable to find the resources to get rid of the red lantern, Darmstadt 0-0 last weekend. In the standings, Gladbach is now in 13th position, 6 points ahead of the red zone.

Injured with Mali during the CAN, midfielder Haïdara is finally back and he will even potentially start. Also, Marco Rose should therefore count on all of his executives to tackle this poster. At the forefront, the former Lens striker, Loïs Openda, is by far the most decisive player of this team with 15 goals (+ 4 assists).

The Belgian should be supported by Dutch midfielder Xavi Simons (5 goals, 7 assists) and Slovenian Sesko (6 goals). Also pay attention to the full-back Raum (2 goals, 6 assists).
