Borussia Monchengladbach will host Heidenheim at Borussia Park on Saturday in another round of the 2023-24 Bundesliga campaign.
The home side have had their struggles in the Bundesliga this season and currently find themselves in the bottom half of the pile. They were beaten 3-1 by Koln in their last game and were perhaps fortunate not to have lost by an even larger margin after a sub-par display at the RheinEnergieStadion.
Borussia Monchengladbach sit 13th in the league table with six points from eight games. They are just one point behind their weekend opponents and will leapfrog them with a win on Saturday.
Heidenheim have not had the smoothest return to the German top flight this season but remain hopeful of avoiding the drop. They were beaten 5-2 by Augsburg in their last match, scoring a quickfire double in the opening 20 minutes to grab a two-goal lead before their opponents turned the game around with a display of ruthless finishing.
Borussia Monchengladbach vs Heidenheim Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

Borussia Monchengladbach vs Heidenheim Prediction
Gladbach are on a run of back-to-back winless outings in the Bundesliga and have won just one game in the competition all season. They are winless in their last four home games and will be desperate to end that streak this weekend.
Heidenheim have lost their last two matches and three of their last four league games. They are without a win in their last four away games and could see defeat here.
Prediction: Borussia Monchengladbach 3-1 Heidenheim
