Borussia Mönchengladbach vs Stuttgart prediction, H2H and probable lineups — 25 January 2026
As part of the 19th round of the German Bundesliga, Borussia Mönchengladbach will take on Stuttgart. The match will be held in Mönchengladbach on Sunday, January 25. Kick-off is scheduled for 15:30 Central European Time. I suggest focusing on the game's scoring potential for this prediction.
Match preview
Borussia Mönchengladbach have had an inconsistent 2025/26 season, alternating between strong performances and disappointing spells. However, recent rounds have shown signs of improvement for the Foals.
The hosts have been regularly picking up points, especially at home, where they tend to play more confidently and take the initiative. Recent results indicate that the team can dictate the tempo against similarly ranked opponents and create plenty of scoring opportunities.
Offensively, Mönchengladbach look highly competitive. In recent outings, Borussia have consistently found the net, a testament to the attacking group’s good form and the smart interplay between midfield and forwards. Even in matches where they lose control, they still manage to carve out chances.
However, defense remains the team’s main vulnerability. Throughout the 2025/26 campaign, Borussia have conceded regularly, particularly when facing quick transitions from the opposition. With just twenty points from 18 matches, they sit mid-table, with little hope of a European spot.
Stuttgart, meanwhile, have confirmed their status as one of the Bundesliga’s most dynamic and attacking sides this season. The team is firmly entrenched in the upper part of the table and has shown consistent results, especially against direct rivals.
Recent matches have highlighted that the Swabians are in great shape, capable of getting results both at home and on the road. Undav has rediscovered his sharpness, boasting 10 goals in 14 appearances.
Stuttgart’s attacking model is built on high pressing, vertical passing, and rapid ball progression. In recent games, the team has regularly scored two or more goals, effectively exploiting the space behind opposition defenders.
Earlier this week, Stuttgart played a Europa League match against Roma. The Germans lost in Rome and have virtually no chance of qualifying directly for the round of 16, though their place in the playoffs is already secure.
Match facts
- Borussia have won just one of their last four home matches.

H2H
- The teams have not drawn against each other since 2021.
- In the last six head-to-head matches in Mönchengladbach, both teams have scored every time.
Prediction
Both teams favor attacking football and rarely shut up shop, especially in direct encounters. With defensive frailties but strong attacking potential on both sides, this promises to be an open and high-scoring match. My tip: total goals over 2.5.
