After a tough loss to Bayer Leverkusen, Gladbach failed to get the three points in the second consecutive match, this time on the road against Werder Bremen. They will now return home for their next task, where they will host Union Berlin. The visitors fought hard to avoid the defeat in their home match against Mainz but are still struggling to get results.

Gladbach (16-7-5) are coming off a rather mediocre performance on the road against Werder Bremen, in a match where they didn’t create a lot of chances and were eventually stuck at a goal-less draw. They have now grabbed just one point from their last two matches and have won just two of their last five (2-2-1). Gladbach are sitting at the 4th spot of the league table with 53 points, just as many as Bayer Leverkusen below them. They have been great at home so far (9-3-2) but have kept just two clean sheets there all season.

Union Berlin (9-15-4) reacted strongly in the early goal they conceded in their home match against Mainz mid-week, but were left with ten men shortly after. Even so, they were better in that match and eventually split the points in a 1-1 draw. However, they are still win-less in their last six matches in all competitions, conceding at least twice in five of those (0-4-2). Union Berlin are sitting at the 13th spot of the league table with 31 points, just four above the red line. They have the 2nd worst away record in the league (3-9-2), scoring just 14 goals and conceding 29 in the process.

Union Berlin stunned Gladbach in the first round, when they beat them by 0-2 at home. The only other match between the two was a mouth-watering 4-4 draw in the German Cup back in 2001, where Union Berlin scored two more goals in the extra time to reach the final. Taking the OVer 2.75 Goals here, as Gladbach will most likely win here but their defense is far from consistent.
