Bor. M'Gladbach - VfL Wolfsburg

EL starter Gladbach advanced to next round and this maybe gives a lot of confidence back but otherwise they are not on their best level at the moment. They need to many opportunities for a goal and they play not their fast style from last season. Also some of their surprise facts in their play is gone. All in all only average at the moment and they have to fight big if they want to get an international place again because competitors are much. In addition some of their players are not in the form from last season as young keeper ter Stegen seems a bit of a downtrend as he made some mistakes in the past. They miss again de Jong and Daems but both are out long term and are not available in the past, so no problem. The other big disadvantage can be that they played many matches so far and in this case they are not fresh enough as this is their 4 match in 10 days and they play in rhythm of all 3 days a match. They can be a bit tired here because they had to fight big against Augsburg on Sunday in order to get a point at least.

On the other side Wolfsburg looks like changed since Magath was sucked and Köstner takes over. They play very good and fresh soccer and most of the players have a lot of fun again and they run and pass like they never did under Magath. Above all Diego bloom up a lot and he is the head in midfield now. He is the big time base for Wolfsburg and he leads them very well. It looks also the team lost his bonds and they are more able to implement Köstners tactic and system as under Magath. Many changes done from Köstner and he counts more on the former players he knows as on the new guys who are signed from Magath. For this match he has not available Josue suspended while Helmes, Pilar are long term injured and Cale, Pannewitz or Russ included. Therefore they made a good job under new coach and they got some results as well and for sure they are on an uptrend. If they continue like in the past match everything is possible.

Close match ahead but I think Wolfsburg is fresher as Gladbach and for sure worth a bet here. Maybe in the end it can give some advantage for Wolfsburg and if they take the lead, it would be very hard for a comeback. GL
