Borussia Monchengladbach have not quite built on their win at Frankfurt on Matchday 26, but visitors Union Berlin have not won in their last five league games either.

Bundesliga 2019/2020
Date: Sunday, May 31
Kick-off: 14:30 pm
Venue: Borussia-Park
Union Berlin head to Monchengladbach on a dire run of results, having lost twice and drawn one in the three games they have negotiated since the resumption of the Bundesliga, though they appear comfortable with their placing on the table as they are some nine points clear of the drop.
Monchengladbach are still in the hunt for Champions League qualification despite dropping points to Bayer Leverkusen and Werder Bremen in their last two and with Bayern Munich and Wolfsburg coming up in their next couple of games, one will expect Die Fohlen to tighten up their grip sooner rather than later.
Berlin were 2-0 victors in the reverse fixture last year, so the hosts will be out to exert revenge and of course rake in an important three points as the league’s run-in becomes tougher.

Betting tips
There is every likelihood this match could produce a lot of goals, if their respective performances in the final third in recent games are evaluated. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 11 of Borussia Monchengladbach’s last 13 home games in the division while there have been over 2.5 goals scored in 6 of Union Berlin’s last 7 away games. With this, punters could expect the game to have goals to light it up, and backing over 3.5 for 17/10 odds is the first pick from the available markets here.
Alassane Plea is 11/8 to score anytime, and is a player worth banking on, for the goal-scorers market. The Frenchman is on course to hit double figures for goals should he find the net here.
