Mönchengladbach – Köln PREDICTION & TIPS
Mönchengladbach
The last two season starts for the team of Borussia Mönchengladbach – in the league – anything but promising. From the weak start of the previous year, you have not really really recovered over the entire season. The biggest problem was the offensive in many phases of the season. In order to be in charge of the season before the start of the season 2017/2018, Raul Bobadilla seems to have committed himself to the “foals” from FC Augsburg. Home games against the 1. FC Cologne meant for Gladbach in the past mostly success. A total of 24 wins and nine draws were won in 10 defeats in their own stadium on the “Effzeh” already 43 times. However, coach Dieter Hecking also had to take some important departure. Thus offensive player André Hahn took off in the direction of the Ligakon competition (HSV), Andreas Christensen left a gap in the internal defense. They are trying to fill with Mathias Ginter, who was never able to establish himself completely in Dortmund and now hopes for better times at Gladbach. In the test matches, defensive stability was rarely seen in very few cases. Gladbach did not concede a single pre-match game without a conceded opponent, but he did so with the Wuppertaler SV against a club from the 3rd league. In the other game was always at least a hit casted. The rehearsals against Leicester City were lost 1: 2. A good test in that it was recognized that against a physically very robust and defensively enormously close opponent solutions were found, in order to put its defensive before problems. Kick-off Cologne pursues a similar game style, also acted out of a secured defensive. However, they won against the Spanish club FC Malaga. Bitter: Coach Hecking has to do without a whole series of players on Sunday. In the defensive area, Koldziejzcak, Oxford, Doucouré and Jantschke have several alternatives, or are currently being attacked. On the other hand, with the exception of Josip Drmic, it is possible to attack all the players. In the cup against RW Essen gladbach gloucested however not necessarily with glory, won only in the end with only 2: 1. It was true that the opponents were in almost every situation, but for a long time it was not possible to create enough goals from the many scoring opportunities to make an early decision.
FC Cologne
The team of Peter Störer is waiting for an exciting, but certainly a difficult and demanding season. Having landed on a European League pitch last year, it is hard to beat this performance. On top of that, you will face the double load. Not to be underestimated is also the fact that Cologne with Anthony Modeste lost his “life insurance”, which also ensured that the preparation phase for the new season was repeatedly interfered by noise by interested parties and rumors. Nevertheless, a major plus of the “Effzeh” is the continuity that has prevailed in almost all positions in the club since the engagement of Peter Störer and Jörg Schmadke. There were hardly any transfer flops, the team was extremely stable. Above all defensively does not make the Cologne so fast. After the departure of Modeste Jhon Cordoba, who has been kicked off by Mainz 05 and has already proved his goal, is to make the necessary hits. Apart from that, it was largely quiet in the often so excited cathedral city. Another plus for Cologne: the fans are still euphoric, everyone is looking forward to the comeback in international business. We assume, however, that the team – as in the previous year – can not be blinded. Equally important: some key players are now back in full force after protracted injuries in the backround 2016/2017, such as Keeperhorn or foreign defender Marcel Risse. Cologne have, as I said, in the last away games against Gladbach barely succeed, only two of the last 10 won, but the last appearance so far, where you could keep the upper hand with 2: 1. The preparations for the Domstädter were successful in terms of performance and allowed only a few conclusions. It was interesting to note that, with the exception of the 10: 1 win against Austria’s GAK under the Austrian team, no match was won, but none of them were lost as all the other matches ended with a draw against FC Bologna (1: 1) or the Austrian LASK 2: 2). The very big names were not to be found among the preparers. Peter Störer also has one important player on Sunday
