Wolfsburg vs Monchengladbach Prediction 25 April 2026
🔊 A crucial showdown is set to take place at the Volkswagen Arena, where Wolfsburg aim for a second consecutive victory to keep their survival hopes alive. Dieter Hecking's side needs to overcome Borussia Mönchengladbach, who are hovering near the relegation zone but could secure their Bundesliga status for next season with a win. Given the Foals' poor away form, success won't come easy. However, Wolfsburg are also struggling at home, having lost their last five matches on their turf. What will be the outcome of this clash in Lower Saxony?
Head-to-Head
📊 Patrick Wimmer's brace powered Wolfsburg to a crucial away victory (3-1) in the first-round match. Mohamed Amoura also found the net for the Wolves. The Foals failed to score themselves, with Konstantinos Koulierakis' own goal giving them a helping hand. In their last three head-to-head encounters, Wolfsburg have secured three consecutive wins.
Head-to-head statistics Wolfsburg - Monchengladbach

Wolfsburg Team Overview
🟢 Last weekend, Dieter Hecking's side secured a crucial three points in their away match against Union Berlin (2-1). Goals from Patrick Wimmer and Jenan Pejcinovic sealed the victory. This win allowed Wolfsburg to close the gap to just two points behind 16th-placed St. Pauli. While the victory over Union provided a significant boost, it hasn't drastically changed their situation-prior to this, the team was in a prolonged slump, frequently dropping points.
⚪ The primary issues for the Wolves remain their defensive play and inconsistency throughout matches, particularly after halftime. Hecking's arrival was expected to bring more balance, yet Wolfsburg still seems to be struggling more with themselves than with their opponents. The Wolves have lost five consecutive home games, with a combined score of 5-10.
Match Results: Wolfsburg

Borussia M'gladbach Team Overview
⚫ In Matchday 30, Gladbach dropped two points at home against Mainz (1-1), conceding a penalty in the 98th minute. Joe Scally scored the team's only goal. Currently, the Foals maintain a buffer from the relegation zone: they are seven points clear of 17th-placed Wolfsburg and five points ahead of 16th-placed St. Pauli. A victory would extend their lead to ten points, virtually securing at least a spot in the relegation playoff, although survival isn't mathematically assured yet.
🟢 Their main issue lies in away games, where the Foals consistently drop points and struggle with performance quality. Borussia have not won on the road this calendar year, with three draws and six losses in their last nine away matches. This factor could once again work against them in the upcoming fixture.

Latest news
Wolfsburg
🎙️ Dieter Hecking on the upcoming match: "Obviously, the victory [in Berlin] boosts our confidence, though we understand it was just one game. To achieve our goal, we need many more wins. The pressure remains the same as it was before the last match. We must win to improve our standing."
❌ Wolfsburg continue to miss Clayton, Bence Dardai, Kilian Fischer, Marius Müller, Kevin Paredes, Rogerio, Jenson Seelt, Mattias Svanberg, and Jonas Wind.
Borussia M'gladbach
🎙️ Eugen Polanski on the opponent: "Wolfsburg secured a victory over Union, and it was earned through sheer hard work. Since the coaching change, a more attacking style has become evident. The team is showcasing quality football, even if it doesn't always translate into points. Wolfsburg have regained their confidence now."
❌ Tim Kleindienst remains sidelined.
🟨 Yellow Card Prediction
Tobias Stieler will officiate the upcoming match. In his last game, he issued three yellow cards, with an average of 3.8 over his past 10 matches. Wolfsburg players have accumulated 58 yellow cards over 30 rounds, averaging 1.9 per match, while Gladbach's tally is 48, averaging 1.6. Considering these stats and the nature of their head-to-head encounters, we suggest the option of under 3.5 yellow cards, which has occurred in 4 of the last 5 meetings between these teams.
⚽ Goal Prediction
Both teams struggle defensively, but Wolfsburg's situation is more dire. The Wolves have conceded 66 goals, the worst in the league alongside Heidenheim. Meanwhile, Wolfsburg have scored 41 goals, compared to Gladbach's 36, though the Foals have also conceded a significant number (50 goals). Given the statistics and their head-to-head history, a bet on both teams to score (yes) seems logical, as this outcome has occurred in six of their last seven encounters at Volkswagen Arena. It has also been successful in 10 of Wolfsburg's last 11 home matches.
🚩 Corner Prediction
The average corner stats for both teams are nearly identical: Wolfsburg averages 4 corners per match, while Borussia Mönchengladbach averages 3.9. Expecting the game to lean in favor of the hosts, we consider the option of Gladbach under 5.5 corners. This has been the case in 8 of their last 9 away matches.
Editor's Prediction
Despite suffering five consecutive home defeats, Wolfsburg are slight favorites due to their recent victory and higher motivation levels. Borussia Mönchengladbach also need points, but their away form is inconsistent. However, the hosts' frail defense offers the visitors opportunities to score. We anticipate a high-scoring game, as supported by the head-to-head statistics.
The primary bet is over 2.5 goals, which has occurred in 7 of the last 8 matches between these teams at Wolfsburg's ground. As a potential outcome, we predict a "Wolves" victory with a scoreline of 2-1.
