NextGOAL tip: Borussia Mönchengladbach (level) · 2 stars
The friendly between St. Pauli and Borussia Mönchengladbach has no points at stake for either side, so it is a game both will use to fine-tune the team and try out players rather than play for the result. St. Pauli come into this off a run of not losing in the league, but most of those ended in shared points, and their attack still lacks the sharpness to close games out on its own. Borussia Mönchengladbach, meanwhile, have just ended a friendly with a three-goal win, after losing heavily in the league in several straight matches before that. Their defence is a clear problem. The game should be evenly matched, since neither team is under pressure over points, and there will likely be more substitutions than usual. What to watch from kick-off is the first moment Borussia Mönchengladbach build the ball out from their own half, and whether they give it away as easily as they did in that recent spell.
