The start of the season for Borussia from Monchengladbach was not the best. Marco Rose’s team had to fight in a very difficult group of the Champions League, having made a number of mistakes in the Bundesliga. These failures do not yet allow the “foals” to rise above the seventh line in the table, but chances of being in the top four are quite high. Borussia is one point behind its current rival, who is fourth and may well overtake it today, but there is still Union and Wolfsburg ahead, which probably have the same plans. Nevertheless, the “foals” have been able to add more recently and points have become stable, which was so lacking in the fall. In the last round Borussia beat Werder Bremen at home with a score of 1:0. The match turned out to be very difficult for hosts and everything was decided by a goal from a standard. Thus, the “foals” have won their third victory in the last four league matches and, in general, the streak has already reached four matches without defeat.
New Yorkers should also be given their due, as the team demonstrates quite good basketball. Tom Thibodeau’s charges are in the playoff zone and this is a good result. The Knicks scored two victories in a row as they replaced Boston (105:75), which came as a surprise since the match was played at TD Garden. The team continued their triumphant march when they left no chances for Orlando (91:84), though already within their native walls. New York has turned into a tough opponent who is no longer so easy to beat. The club is moving in the right direction and confirms this with their play. In short, don’t underestimate the New York team.
