On Wednesday, starting at 17:30 pm, the Monchengladbach – Koln match will be played during the 21st round of the Bundesliga, the 2019/2020 season. Cologne has only won twice over Borussia-Park in the last 21 years, the last time in the 2016/2017 season, score 2-1. In the tour, Monchengladbach won 1-0 away, but the “Tapii” are at a different level at the moment.
Monchengladbach won several matches (49) against rival Koln and scored the most goals in its gate (175), than against any other Bundesliga team. The “Manjii” would get the 50th victory on Wednesday, and the “Tapii” would run after the 25th, to the 90th “Rhine Derby”. After the defeat to the limit with Dortmund, Marco Rose’s team was surpassed by Leverkusen in the standings and now occupies the 5th place with 46 points. The dispute with Koln is part of the 21st round of the Bundesliga, which was postponed due to a storm.
Koln performs fantastic with Markus Gisdol on the bench, managing 8 victories in the 13 matches played. “Tapii” have already ticked 5 successes by 2020, reaching 10th place in the ranking, with 32 points. Rank 6 is pretty close, the last of the Europa League, which is Schalke, with 37 points. Koln scored in 2020 with Bayern and Dortmund, but lost the two matches, 1-4 with the Bavarians and 1-5 with the “yellow-blacks”. Striker Jhon Cordoba scored 10 goals in the last 12 stages for Cologne, but only two of them were away.
Despite his failure with Dortmund, Monchengladbach remains a very strong band on his own. Now, it is a derby with one of the most well-formed groups in the Bundesliga and the “Manjii” must evolve to their full potential.
