Freiburg vs Monchengladbach Prediction 22 February 2026
🔊 The first match on Sunday in the 23rd round takes place at the Europa-Park Stadion, where Freiburg, unbeaten at home since August 23, will host Borussia Mönchengladbach, who haven't won away for over two months. There's an eight-point gap between the teams. For the hosts, the main goal remains securing a top-six finish, while the visitors are focused on maintaining their top-flight status for next season. Although Gladbach won't find themselves in the relegation zone after this weekend, they could significantly worsen their already precarious situation.
Head-to-Head
📊 In the first-round match at Borussia-Park, neither team managed to find the back of the net (0-0). Freiburg remain unbeaten against Gladbach in their last nine encounters-this marks the longest undefeated streak in the history of their rivalry. Borussia's last victory over Freiburg was on April 3, 2021 (2-1).
Head-to-head statistics Freiburg - Monchengladbach
Freiburg Team Overview
🔴 Following their derby loss to Hoffenheim (0-3), Freiburg trail the top six by nine points after 22 rounds. Their away performances have been less than stellar with just 2 wins, 3 draws, and 7 losses. However, on home turf, the Black Forest club have been much more formidable, remaining unbeaten in their last nine league matches (6 wins, 3 draws) since their opening day defeat to Augsburg (1-3).
⚪ Since the winter break, the team have won all four of their home fixtures across all competitions, defeating Hamburg, Cologne, and Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga, as well as Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Europa League. A win in the upcoming match would keep Julian Schuster's side in contention for European qualification. Even a defeat would not drop them below seventh place, as they hold a five-point cushion over their closest rivals.
Match Results: Freiburg
Borussia M'gladbach Team Overview
🟢 Borussia Mönchengladbach's winless streak extended to six league matches following their 3-0 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt. The Foals have slipped to 13th place, sitting just three points above the relegation zone with 12 rounds still to play. Despite their setback in Frankfurt, the team has shown relatively decent form on the road, securing more away victories (3) than at home (2) this season.
⚫ Gladbach rank eighth in the away table but only 16th in home performances. This is largely due to their more solid defensive displays on the road, conceding 16 goals compared to 21 at home. If Eugen Polanski's squad can break their winless run and overcome their struggles against Freiburg, they will narrow the gap to their rivals to five points.

Latest news
Freiburg
🎙️ Julian Schuster on Borussia: "Their matches are rarely one-sided from the start. They have strengths and can pose challenges to their opponents. We mustn't focus solely on their results. Our goal is to secure three points, and we're approaching it with full concentration."
❌ Daniel-Kofi Kyereh isn't ready for the match, and Johan Manzambi will miss out due to suspension. Philipp Lienhart and Lukas Kübler are also likely to be sidelined. Max Rosenfelder remains doubtful.
Borussia M'gladbach
🎙️ Eugen Polanski on his team: "If there were a simple solution to improve our results, we would have already used it. It's not that straightforward. We need to rediscover the winning feeling and secure three points. In recent weeks, we've played better than in some of the matches we've won, but ultimately the players need to reward themselves for their hard work."
❌ Rocco Reitz will miss the match due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Robin Hack, Tim Kleindienst, Nathan Ngumu, Giovanni Reyna, and Alejo Sarco are sidelined with injuries.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
Daniel Siebert has been appointed as the main referee for the match. Over his last 10 games, he averages 4.1 yellow cards per match. Both teams are not particularly aggressive, with Freiburg averaging 1.4 and Gladbach 1.3 yellow cards per game. Given this context, it makes sense to consider Freiburg's individual total under 1.5 yellow cards-a statistic that has held true in their last seven matches across all competitions.
⚽ Goal Prediction
Even though Gladbach tend to win more often away from home, they continue to struggle with scoring. The "Foals" have not netted more than one goal in their last six matches. Considering Freiburg's strong home performance, a bet on Gladbach's individual total under 1.5 goals seems reasonable.
🚩 Corner Prediction
The teams' average corner stats are nearly identical: Freiburg at 4.5 and Gladbach at 4.4 per game. Despite a challenging head-to-head record, the "Foals" consistently pose a threat from set-pieces and often take corners. Therefore, a bet on Gladbach's individual total over 3.5 corners is worth considering-it has come through in 6 of their last 7 encounters.
Editor's Prediction
With a lighter schedule this week, Freiburg have had the chance to thoroughly prepare for the upcoming match. Considering the current form of both teams and their head-to-head history, the hosts deserve the nod. The "Brazilians of Breisgau" are still in the hunt for European competition, though it's a tough battle, especially due to their struggles on the road. However, at the Europa-Park Stadion, Freiburg traditionally perform well, and Gladbach's current form doesn't inspire confidence in an upset here. Our prediction: Freiburg win. Expected scoreline - 3:1.
