A spirited Borussia Dortmund will look to extend their winning streak to 4 games when they make a visit to the Borussia Park to face Borussia Mönchengladbach. Borussia Mönchengladbach have had a horrible 2018 so far with just one win across all competitions and sit at 10th in the table, 6 points behind visitors Dortmund. The intensity for the top 4 spots can be adjudged from the fact that only one point separates 3 teams in the top 4 as of now and Borussia Dortmund would be looking to win the top 4 battle for now by winning and going two points clear at the second spot.

Given Dortmund’s astonishing form in the last few games and Mönchengladbach’s lack of confidence, it would be pretty easy to predict a win for Borussia Dortmund. Mönchengladbach might hit out harder than what one would expect and score. The final scoreline however is expected to be 3-1 in favour of the visitors.
