Prediction

  • Four-time Bundesliga champions Bremen have not won at home in stark contrast to their strong away record with three wins.
  • Gladbach finished just a point from the dropzone last term, but look slightly in better shape this season after three wins.
  • Both meetings ended in a "Desmond" last term, and a share of the spoils could be a good shout here between two evenly-matched sides.
