Borussia Mönchengladbach vs Bayer 04 Leverkusen: Match Prediction
Borussia Mönchengladbach welcome one of their most awkward opponents in the upcoming round, a team they have not beaten in the last 12 league head-to-head meetings (3 draws, 9 defeats). Improving that record looks unlikely. Borussia Mönchengladbach are not currently in the shape to compete convincingly against strong opposition. Eugen Polanski’s side have won only one of their last seven Bundesliga matches, and during this stretch Borussia Mönchengladbach have dropped points even against clubs positioned lower in the standings.
Bayer 04 Leverkusen’s visits away from home rarely bring joy to the hosts. In their last 43 away league matches, the team have suffered only three defeats (28 wins, 12 draws). Bayer 04 Leverkusen do not struggle to create and convert chances: the average scoring output away from home in the Bundesliga 2025/2026 stands at exactly two goals per game. Borussia Mönchengladbach, meanwhile, find it difficult to defend even against less prolific opponents.
Prediction: Bayer 04 Leverkusen double chance, win or draw + Over 1.5 goals
