Monchengladbach vs St Pauli Prediction 13 March 2026
🔊 On Friday in Gladbach, a crucial clash unfolds between the local Borussia and St. Pauli as they battle for three points, with both clubs fighting to stay in the Bundesliga. Despite a four-place gap in the standings, the Foals are only one point ahead of the Pirates. The hosts are viewed as favorites by the bookmakers, yet their current form and results fall short compared to the performances of the Hamburg club.
Head-to-Head
📊 This season, the clubs have already faced each other twice. In the first round of the championship in November in Hamburg, the Foals thrashed the Pirates with a 4-0 victory. However, just a month later, St. Pauli got their revenge in Gladbach, knocking Eugen Polanski's team out in the Round of 16 of the DFB-Pokal with a 2-1 win.
Head-to-head statistics Monchengladbach - St Pauli
Borussia M'gladbach Team Overview
⚫ After securing their first win in eight matches against Union (1-0) in the 24th round, Eugen Polanski's side traveled to Munich last weekend, where they suffered a heavy defeat to Bayern (1-4). From the 55th minute, with the score already at 0-2, the "Foals" played with ten men following the sending-off of captain Rocco Reitz. A consolation goal came late on from 17-year-old substitute Wael Moukha.
🟢 Ahead of the 26th round, Borussia are just one point clear of the relegation zone. This marks Gladbach's 58th season in the Bundesliga. In the club's history, only four times have they had fewer points at this stage, and twice they found themselves in the relegation zone: 15 points after 25 rounds in the 1998/99 season and 24 points after 25 rounds in the 2006/07 season.

St. Pauli Team Overview
🟤 St. Pauli recorded their second consecutive clean sheet but failed to secure a win against Eintracht (0-0) at the Millerntor last round, hitting the woodwork twice. Despite the "Pirates" remaining unbeaten for three matches in a row, they find themselves back in the relegation zone due to goal difference after Werder defeated Union (4-1) away.
⚪ Recently, Alexander Blessin's team managed to turn things around, losing just one of their last five matches (3 wins and 1 draw). This marks a significant improvement compared to their nine-match losing streak from Round 4 to 12. During that same period, only Bayern (15 points) and RB Leipzig (11 points) have collected more points than the "Pirates".

Latest news
Borussia M'gladbach
🎙️ Defender Philipp Sander on the upcoming match: "First and foremost, we need to stay focused for the entire 90 minutes. St. Pauli have been picking up a lot of points recently, even against tough opponents. The key will be maintaining our compactness and avoiding early goals. This was crucial in our last home game against Union. Then, opportunities will surely arise up front, and we hope to capitalize on them."
❌ Tim Kleindienst, Robin Hack, Nathan Ngumu, and Kota Takai are injured. Rocco Reitz is suspended.
St. Pauli
🎙️ Alexander Blessin on the upcoming match: "A few weeks ago, Borussia seemed far out of reach. We didn't even consider the possibility of closing the gap. But we've been fighting, and we need to keep it that way. We can't deviate even slightly from our style of play. I've never used league standings as extra motivation to overtake an opponent. I don't think it makes sense. There are still too many matches ahead and 27 points up for grabs. Our away performance has been weak for a while, but we managed to earn points against Hoffenheim last time. That gives us the belief that we can secure points on the road. It's crucial to stay persistent and hungry for results."
❌ David Nemeth and Mathias Rasmussen might make the squad. Andreas Untodji is doubtful. Manolis Saliakas and James Sands are injured.
🟨 Yellow Card Prediction
Daniel Schlager has been appointed as the referee for the match at Borussia-Park. Over his last 10 matches, he has averaged 4.4 yellow cards per game. Gladbach and St. Pauli are among the most disciplined teams in the league, averaging just 1.5 cautions per match. Therefore, considering under 3.5 yellow cards could be a wise choice, as this outcome has occurred in 3 of the last 4 head-to-head encounters between these clubs.
⚽ Goal Prediction
The Foals' struggles to pick up points in the last nine rounds are directly linked to their scoring issues-Gladbach's individual total of under 1.5 goals has hit in all these matches. The Pirates, on the other hand, play more bravely and effectively at home but have scored more than one goal in only 1 of their last 12 away games. Thus, a bet on under 2.5 goals seems reasonable.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Both teams have similar average corner stats-4.4 for the hosts and 4.7 for the visitors. Borussia are likely to take the initiative, but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll rack up a high number of set-pieces. The under 9.5 corners total has been successful in 8 of the last 9 home Bundesliga matches for the Foals, making it a solid option.
Editorial Prediction
For Borussia, this is one of their last five home matches in the league, and despite personnel issues, Eugen Polanski's side must aim for three points against a direct rival in the battle for survival.
St. Pauli have been performing well in recent home fixtures, but their last away game saw them pull off a surprise victory over Hoffenheim, largely thanks to the outstanding performance of goalkeeper Nikola Vasilj. Prior to that, the "Pirates" had gone winless in their previous 11 away league matches. Therefore, our editorial team leans towards a Gladbach victory with a likely scoreline of 1-0.
