Monchengladbach vs Freiburg Prediction 5 October 2025
🔊 When will Borussia secure their first win of the season? Could it be during the 6th round in a home clash against Freiburg? The stats suggest otherwise: Freiburg remain unbeaten against Gladbach for the last 8 matches (4 wins and 4 draws). Considering the current turmoil within the hosts' camp, we doubt they can break this winless streak. Our prediction will outline the most likely outcome at Borussia-Park.
Head-to-Head
📊 Over the last 36 matches, Borussia have claimed 9 victories, while Freiburg have secured 14 wins, with 13 games ending in draws. Last season, the "Brazilians of Breisgau" outperformed the "Foals" twice: 3-1 at home and 2-1 away.
Head-to-head statistics Monchengladbach - Freiburg

Borussia M'gladbach Team Overview
🟢 In the last round, the "Foals" played another home game as Eintracht visited Gladbach, resulting in a thrilling encounter (4-6). The hosts conceded five goals in the first half, making the second half seem more like a formality, especially after letting in a sixth goal right after the break. However, the players found their resolve and not only scored a consolation goal but also put significant pressure on Frankfurt-netting three times from the 72nd to the 83rd minute. The Foals added a fourth goal in the 99th minute, but it wasn't enough to change the outcome. Gladbach remain the only team in the league without a win this season and currently sit at the bottom with two points. On a positive note, they finally broke their scoring drought; Borussia had failed to find the net in the first three rounds.

Freiburg Team Overview
⚫ Julian Schuster's side are in a much better position, remaining unbeaten in five consecutive matches. However, their last two outings ended in draws. First, the "Brazilians from Breisgau" shared the spoils at home with Hoffenheim (1-1), with both teams scoring early goals. Then, Freiburg traveled to Italy for their second Europa League group stage match against Bologna (1-1). After conceding in the first half, they responded with a penalty goal from Junior Adamu. Following two league victories and a European triumph over Basel (2-1), the team has slightly slowed their pace but crucially avoided defeat. A victory in Mönchengladbach could see Freiburg break into the top six after Matchday 6.

Borussia M'gladbach
🎙 Acting head coach Eugen Polanski on the opponent: "Freiburg utilize more long balls than any other team in the league, they win a lot of second balls and play with great energy. However, their approach is structured rather than chaotic. They possess a lot of quality in attack. Despite the demands of competing in three tournaments, this is actually a positive for the club. We understand what lies ahead, but we still want to focus on ourselves. Yes, we will need to adapt to our opponent, but our goal on Sunday is to showcase 100% of our intensity and readiness to compete."
❌ Nico Elvedi has been slightly under the weather but only missed one training session and will be ready for the match. Wael Moukhtar performed well for the U19s and had a good training session. As for the other players who have been sidelined, none are returning yet: Nathan Ngoumou, Tim Kleindienst, Robin Hack, Franck Honorat, and Giovanni Reyna will not play this weekend.
Freiburg
🎙 Julian Schuster ahead of the match in Gladbach: "We need to properly recover to display the same strength in Mönchengladbach as we have in recent matches. We'll assess the players' conditions and choose the right lineup. Borussia are hard to gauge; a defeat always sharpens an opponent's focus. We aim to create opportunities with the ball and maintain discipline to capitalize on them. That's what we'll be preparing for."
💊 Unlike their opponents, Freiburg have all their key players fit and ready.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The match at Borussia-Park will be officiated by Daniel Schlager. Over his last 10 games, he has averaged 3.4 yellow cards per match. The home team typically receives about 2 warnings per game, while the visitors average 1.8. In 11 of Borussia's last 12 matches, the total was under 3.5 yellow cards, making it reasonable to lean towards this option.
⚽ Goal Predictions
Borussia are playing at home and have finally broken their scoring drought, so we predict that both teams will score (yes). Freiburg have conceded in 6 of their last 7 matches, and Gladbach's defense, especially after the game against Eintracht, is best not dwelled upon - they have also conceded in five out of six matches this season.
🚩 Corner Predictions
The average total corners for Gladbach this season is 6.8, while Freiburg averages 5.4. We will opt for Freiburg's individual total to be over 3.5 corners, a bet that has come through in 7 of the last 8 matches for the "Brazilians of Breisgau," as well as in 6 of the last 7 head-to-head encounters between these teams.
Editorial Prediction
Despite Borussia's dismal start to the season and Freiburg's impressive run, bookmakers still see the hosts as favorites. However, we aren't convinced Gladbach will triumph; their current form and losing streak against the "Brazilians of Breisgau" suggest otherwise. Expect a high-scoring affair, as both teams tend to concede in nearly every match. Our prediction: over 2.5 goals, which has been the outcome in their last four head-to-heads. A win for the visitors seems more likely, just like last season at "Borussia-Park" with a scoreline of 1-2.
