Borussia Monchengladbach vs Arminia Bielefeld Prediction

Borussia Monchengladbach have endured a disappointing start to their Bundesliga campaign. They have a new manager in Adi Hutter, and the Austrian is missing some important first XI players.

🎙️ Max #Eberl: "We were hoping to sign William Pacho, but we couldn't get the deal done. It's a shame for the player, for us and for his current club, who were keen to get a good transfer fee. There are no grounds for legal action though."#DieFohlen #BMGDSC pic.twitter.com/jIzMlsYqz8

Arminia Bielefeld, on the other hand, barely managed to survive last season, and finished 15th. They will rely on the likes of Fabian Klos and Florian Kruger for goals this season.

Borussia Monchengladbach should be able to win here.

Prediction: Borussia Monchengladbach 1-0 Arminia Bielefeld
