European Weekend Football Betting Tips 1st & 2nd October
Borussia Monchengladbach are the surprise package of the Bundesliga so far this term and Lucien Favre’s side has risen to 3rd in the standings, just two points off leaders Bayern Munich who they beat on the opening game of the season. Monchengladbach’s success has largely been built upon a solid back line and defensive unit and Die Fohlen have gone almost 300 minutes without conceding a goal.
Opponents Freiburg have the worse defensive record in the Bundesliga conceding 22 goals, but are still a threat going forward thanks largely to star striker Papiss Cisse. Freiburg have lost the last 3 on the bounce and Favre’s transformation of Monchengladbach should continue in the Bundesliga.

It is fair to say that the Europa League is not a priority for Udinese with only four first team regulars selected for the 1-1 draw at Celtic Park. Star striker Antonio Di Natale was also rested.
Udinese are level on points with Juventus after 4 games with only goal difference separating the two sides. Next up for Francesco Guidolin’s side is Bologna who have lost 3 out of their opening 4 games, although the Rossoblu have faced the likes of Inter, Juventus and Fiorentina. Counting back to last season Bologna are without a win in 13 Serie A games and you have to go back to March for their last win on the road.
With many first team regulars suitably refreshed, expect Udinese to come away with 3 points at the Stadio Friuli on Sunday.
