Borussia Mönchengladbach and TSG Hoffenheim meet in a situation that is uncomfortably similar. Neither has won in the league at all this season, and both just ended their latest match with a defeat. Gladbach went down 1-2, while Hoffenheim lost 2-3 in the European cup. This game therefore feels like a measure of which team can stop the cycle first. Gladbach have lost their league games in a row, scoring some but conceding more than they manage, and the defence is the heaviest problem. They concede late in games especially often, accounting for 29% of all the goals they concede. Hoffenheim are not much better, having lost in consecutive matches, but they still have an attack that can create chances and clearly dominate possession more than their opponents over the last ten matches. This game should open up early because both teams have little choice if they want out of the bottom zone. Gladbach must be the side that opens up at home to get points back, while Hoffenheim will likely wait for counter-attacking moments and use their superior possession to control the rhythm. If the hosts still concede easily as before, the game could end with the visitors holding the advantage.
