11 - Monchengladbach - Leverkusen
over 2,75 @1,88 Pinnacle Stake: 7/10
Very interesting game. Gladbach is sinking without a trace. They are sitting at the bottom of the Bundesliga, trying to get out of relegation. In the mid season they transferred Stranzl from Spartak and last weekend it can be seen that he organized the defence very well. Actually their defence is so bad in the first half that any player above average ratings can give that team a nice defence options. They concede 47 goals in the first half. One of the major missing is bobadilla today. He has not been playing for about 4 weeks with a red card suspension and team a little bit get used to play without him.
Leverkusen is famous for playing nice first half's and very awful second half's in Bundesliga. They lost to dortmund last weekend and team started to feel this stupid habit in their veins. Ballack returns but still sits on the bench. According to kicker firts eleven will be:Adler - Castro , Reinartz , Hyypiä , Kadlec - Vidal , Rolfes - Sam , Renato Augusto - Kießling , Derdiyok which pretty much is the expected one. In the first half of the season, their clash ended 6-3 and it's the highest resulting game this season. Moreover Leverkusen have not been lost a league game at Gladbach for nearly 22 years.
So, i dont want to get into win or lose at this game. Gladbach seeks points, Leverkusen seeks points so both teams will attack. I'm expecting goals from this game.
