Borussia Dortmund vs Borussia Mönchengladbach Bundesliga Preview

Dortmund come into this one in relentless attacking form, piling on goals and points as they push towards the top end of the table. Confidence is sky high, especially at Signal Iduna Park, where they’ve been ruthless.

Gladbach, meanwhile, are scrapping for momentum. Games involving them have been chaotic, open and unpredictable, which makes this trip a daunting one. Expect a full house, a loud Yellow Wall, and a fast start from the hosts.

Dortmund are likely to set up aggressively in a high-tempo attacking shape, while Gladbach may look to stay compact and strike on the break when space opens up.

Dortmund average nearly three goals per game across their last ten, with every single one going over 2.5 goals. They commit numbers forward and accept risk at the back to overwhelm opponents.

Gladbach’s matches have followed a similar pattern, but for different reasons. They concede over two goals per game and struggle to control games without the ball, leading to stretched contests.

With both sides comfortable playing in open games and neither keeping many clean sheets, this shapes up as another end-to-end Bundesliga classic.

Borussia Dortmund: eight wins, one draw, one defeat from the last ten. Twenty-nine goals scored, fifteen conceded, and just two clean sheets. They’ve been winning games by outscoring teams rather than shutting them out.

Borussia Mönchengladbach: two wins, two draws, six defeats. Seventeen goals scored, twenty-two conceded, and only one clean sheet. Entertainment value is high, results less so.

Dortmund at home have been devastating, scoring freely and regularly putting games to bed early. Clean sheets are rare, but goals are guaranteed.

Gladbach away from home have struggled defensively, conceding heavily and finding it hard to slow games down once momentum turns.

Dortmund consistently create high-quality chances, while Gladbach allow more than they’d like at this level.

The most recent meeting at Signal Iduna Park ended 3–2 to Dortmund, with goals flowing freely. The reverse fixture earlier in the season finished 1–1, and recent clashes have generally delivered drama and goals.

Dortmund’s attacking firepower, home advantage and current momentum should be too much. Gladbach will have moments, but stopping the hosts for 90 minutes looks unlikely.

Prediction: Borussia Dortmund 3–1 Borussia Mönchengladbach

Main pick: Borussia Dortmund to win

Value angle: Both teams to score — both sides involved in high-scoring games.
