Borussia Mönchengladbach
Borussia Monchengladbach have looked more stable overall since Eugen Polanski stepped in as first-team coach, but recent results suggest they are still searching for consistency. They have managed just one win in their last five Bundesliga matches and currently sit 11th in the Bundesliga.
Last weekend’s 0-0 draw away at Hamburger SV was notable mainly because it was one of the rare occasions they kept a clean sheet. Defensive issues have plagued them for much of the season.
At home, though, they showed their potential by thrashing Augsburg 4-0 in their most recent outing at Borussia-Park, a result that underlined how dangerous they can be on their day.
VfB Stuttgart
VfB Stuttgart come into this fixture in strong domestic form. Sebastian Hoeness’ side are unbeaten in their last five Bundesliga games and have climbed into the top four after impressive victories against Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt.
There was a slight reality check in midweek, however, as they went down 2-0 away to AS Roma in the Europa League. While that defeat may test their depth and energy levels, VfB Stuttgart have generally responded well after setbacks this season.
One thing to note is that VfB Stuttgart have been far more reliable at home than on the road. They are among the league’s best home sides, but this trip to Mönchengladbach represents a tougher challenge away from their comfort zone. Still, they managed to win their last two on the road against Werder Bremen (0-4) and Bayer Leverkusen (1-4).
The Betting Verdict
Recent meetings between these two tend to deliver goals, especially at Borussia-Park, where over 2.5 goals have landed in five of the last six encounters.
There’s also been a clear winner lately - none of the last six head-to-heads ended level, with both sides winning three apiece.
Given Borussia Monchengladbach’s attacking threat at home and VfB Stuttgart’s confidence from their league form, this looks like another open contest.
Over 2.5 goals feels like the safest angle, while the draw again looks unlikely based on recent history.
