A Sports Betting Preview by Niko

Hamburger SV v Borussia Mönchengladbach
Football; Germany: Bundesliga
Volkspark Stadion – Borussia Mönchengladbach
Saturday, 17th January 2026 - kickoff 15:30 CET

Hamburger SV

HSV’s Matchday 17 clash with Bayer Leverkusen was postponed due to structural safety concerns over snow and ice on the Volksparkstadion roof. The venue has since been cleared, and the Hamburger SV side will host Borussia Mönchengladbach on Saturday. Last weekend they lost 2-1 to SC Freiburg, so perhaps the extra rest will do them a favour here.

At home, HSV have been solid recently, remaining unbeaten in their last four Bundesliga matches at the Volksparkstadion. They have been competitive defensively, but will need to convert chances more efficiently if they want to challenge a team above them in the table.

Borussia Mönchengladbach

Borussia Mönchengladbach come into this fixture having lost three of their last four league games, including a heavy 5-1 defeat at TSG Hoffenheim.

Currently three points above HSV, this is a key game for Borussia Monchengladbach to halt their slump and maintain a cushion over the relegation battle.

Borussia Mönchengladbach won three of five Bundesliga matches on the road this season but suffered back-to-back losses in their last two away trips to Borussia Dortmund and TSG Hoffenheim, showing vulnerability against high-tempo sides.

The Betting Verdict

Their first meeting this season ended goalless, and given both sides’ recent inconsistencies, another tight, low-scoring affair is likely.

I lean just a bit more on Borussia Mönchengladbach, but this is one of those games that can go either way. However, I would go with a double chance bet on the visitors to remain unbeaten.

The Pick :

Hamburger SV 1-1 Borussia Monchengladbach
