Borussia Mönchengladbach and 1899 Hoffenheim meet with both sides winless in their supplied home or away records, while A. Daghim provides Hoffenheim’s clearest recorded attacking return.
Before kickoff
A five-match losing run frames the key question
Sunday’s meeting at Borussia-Park pairs Borussia Mönchengladbach, provisionally ranked #18 with 0 points from 5 Bundesliga games, with 1899 Hoffenheim, provisionally ranked #17 with 3 points from 5. Hoffenheim’s three-point advantage is the clearest table edge, while both clubs sit below league leader SC Freiburg, who have 13 points.
Both teams have lost their last five matches? No: Gladbach’s recent-form sample is five losses, while Hoffenheim’s five-match sample contains four losses and one win. Their supplied home-and-away records are identical: Gladbach have 0 wins, 0 draws and 2 losses at home; Hoffenheim have the same record away. Gladbach have scored 6 and conceded 8 in those home games, while Hoffenheim have scored 3 and conceded 6 on the road. Neither side has kept a clean sheet in that scope.
Absences sharpen the attacking question
Gladbach are missing J. Castrop, F. Fleck, F. Honorat, K. Itakura, T. Kleindienst, E. Leopold and J. Leszczynski. N. Kuhn is questionable with a muscle injury. Hoffenheim are without Bernardo after a red card, plus A. Hajdari and P. Wimmer through injury.
A. Daghim is Hoffenheim’s named goal threat, with 2 goals and 2 assists in 5 appearances. Can Gladbach’s home attack exploit Hoffenheim’s away defensive record before Daghim’s production makes the difference?
