Frankfurt vs Gladbach Prediction and Football Tips

Bundesliga football tips – Frankfurt vs Gladbach prediction.

Frankfurt have suffered devastating news after Bundesliga top scorer Alex Meier will miss the remainder of the season after suffering problems with his patellar tendon.

Gladbach have a fully fit squad with the exception of defender Martin Stranzl. Christoph Kramer who missed the win against Dortmund returns to the squad.

Probable Line-ups

Frankfurt: 4-4-2 formation: Trapp; Zambrano, Oczipka, Timothy Chandler, Madlung; Kittel, Stendera, Hasebe, Aigner; Seferovic, Valdez

Gladbach: 4-4-1-1 formation:  Sommer; Jantschke, Brouwers, Dominguez, Wendt; Herrmann, Kramer, Xhaka, Johnson; Raffael, Kruse

•  Frankfurt have won 3, drawn 3 and lost 4 of their last 10 matches
• Gladbach have won 6, drawn 3 and lost 1 of their last 10 matches
• Over the course of their previous 10 matches, Frankfurt have scored an average of 1.6 goals and conceded an average of 1.9
• Over the course of their previous 10 matches, Gladbach have scored an average of 2 goals and conceded an average of 0.8 goals per game
• There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 8 of Frankfurt’s previous 10 matches
• There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 4 of Gladbach’s previous 10 matches
• Gladbach have been victorious in 4 of their last 5 visits to Frankfurt

Frankfurt go into this game after a 3-0 loss away to Bayern last week; a game in which they rarely looked threatening. Frankfurt know that they will need a win in this fixture if they are to keep their hopes of qualifying for next seasons Europa League. Die Adler are sitting 4 points and two places behind Augsburg who currently occupy the last European qualification spot.

Gladbach go into this game in exceptional form having not tasted defeat in their last 8 Bundesliga fixtures. Die Fohlen have pretty much confirmed Champions League football for next season however, will want to confirm that they finish 3^rd which ensures they start in the group stages of the competition instead of the qualifiers which happens when finishing 4^th in the league. Leverkusen are currently in 4^th position and are only 2 points behind Gladbach so Gladbach know that they will have to continue their good form otherwise Leverkusen could overtake them.

This game could be fairly tight with Frankfurt playing at home however Gladbach are in tremendous form and will want to finish the season in the best manner possible. The match is looking like it will be a great spectacle with over 51,000 tickets already sold and both teams looking to pick up all three points. The absence of Alex Meier will damage Frankfurt’s attacking power against a very solid Gladbach defence.

We say: Gladbach draw no bet at 4/9 with Bet365
