Match Analysis

In recent outings, Dortmund has shown a resurgence in form, notably drawing 2-2 against league leaders Bayern Munich away from home. They've followed this with convincing victories – a 4-1 away triumph at Freiburg and a solid 3-1 home win over Mainz. These results showcase a team finding its rhythm, especially in attack, with an average of 2.4 goals scored in their last five matches. However, their defensive frailties remain, as evidenced by their lack of clean sheets in the same period. M'gladbach's recent form has been more mixed. They managed to secure a narrow 1-0 victory against RB Leipzig, but this was sandwiched between a 2-1 home loss to Freiburg and a 1-1 away draw against St Pauli. While they average the same number of goals scored as Dortmund over the last five games (2.4), their defense has been slightly tighter, conceding an average of 1.0 goals per game. Their expected goals metrics suggest they might not convert as many chances as Dortmund, which could be pivotal.

Final Prediction

Dortmund holds the edge in this encounter due to their superior attacking form and recent results against tough opponents. Their ability to consistently score goals provides them with a crucial advantage, especially playing at home. One key factor to watch will be Dortmund's ability to capitalize on their expected goals, potentially turning opportunities into decisive moments against a M'gladbach side that has shown vulnerabilities.
