B. Monchengladbach vs Freiburg Prediction & Betting Tips (5 October)

Borussia Mönchengladbach will host SC Freiburg at BORUSSIA-PARK on October 5, 2025, in a Bundesliga clash that pits desperation against momentum. The Foals, under the guidance of Eugen Polanski, are languishing at the bottom of the table with just two points from five matches. Their recent 4-6 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt exposed defensive frailties, despite goals from Grant-Leon Ranos, Haris Tabaković, Yannik Engelhardt, and Jens Castrop. With an average of 2.1 goals conceded per game, Mönchengladbach’s backline has been porous, and Polanski will be under pressure to tighten the screws ahead of Freiburg’s visit.

Freiburg, led by coach J. Schuster, arrive in North Rhine-Westphalia riding a wave of confidence. Their latest 2-1 win over FC Basel 1893, courtesy of goals from Maximilian Eggestein and Patrick Osterhage, marked their third consecutive victory. The Breisgau Brazilians have netted 13 goals in their last seven outings, averaging 1.9 goals per game, and have scored in 15 straight matches. While their defense isn’t impenetrable—conceding 12 goals in the same span—they’ve shown resilience and tactical discipline, especially on the road, where they’ve won 70% of their last ten away fixtures.

Historically, Freiburg have dominated this matchup, unbeaten in their last eight encounters with Mönchengladbach and winning three straight Bundesliga meetings. The last time these sides met at BORUSSIA-PARK, Freiburg emerged 2-1 victors, a scoreline that echoes our prediction for this weekend’s clash. Mönchengladbach’s home form has been dismal, with only two wins in their last ten games, while Freiburg’s away prowess makes them slight favorites. However, the hosts’ attacking spark—evident in their four-goal haul against Frankfurt—suggests they won’t go quietly.

Expect a tense, tactical battle with moments of flair. Mönchengladbach may find the net through Tabaković or Ranos, but Freiburg’s clinical edge, possibly via Eggestein or Doan, should tilt the balance. A 2-1 scoreline in favor of the visitors feels plausible, with the Foals showing signs of life but ultimately falling short. Set pieces and corner counts could play a role, especially with Mönchengladbach’s tendency to rack up high corner totals at home. In a match where margins matter, Freiburg’s form and composure may be just enough to seal the win.
