Monchengladbach vs Union Prediction 28 February 2026
🔊 Will Gladbach break their winless streak? Eugen Polanski's side have gone seven matches without a victory, while Union snapped a similar run with a win in their last outing. It's tough to call a favorite here, as the head-to-head history between these teams is highly unpredictable. The hosts are just two points above the relegation zone, making a win crucial for them. However, their defensive frailties remain, so goals from both sides can be expected.
Head-to-Head
📊 Defender Danilho Doekhi scored twice, helping Union secure a 3-1 victory over Gladbach at the start of the season. Haris Tabakovic found the net for the visitors, while Rani Khedira added another goal for the Berlin side.

Latest news
Borussia M'gladbach
🎙️ Eugen Polanski after the match in Freiburg: "I can't fault my team for their desire, but football is a results-driven sport, and right now, we're not delivering. Particularly in the first half, we had plenty of opportunities for crosses from the flanks, but we were often too indirect. Our deliveries were either too late or not accurate enough, and we didn't have good presence in the box. We need to play more simply and with more purpose. We understand the league table situation is precarious, and we know what we have to show in the upcoming matches. Ultimately, it doesn't matter how we play - we need results."
❌ Robin Hack, Tim Kleindienst, Alejo Sarco, and Giovanni Reyna remain sidelined.
Union
🎙️ Steffen Baumgart after the victory: "We controlled the game through clear structure and discipline. Today wasn't about flashy football, but rather a straightforward approach-and that was the key. The team finally executed what we had planned. We needed to play through the battles, and the guys did it excellently. This win is extremely important from a psychological perspective."
❌ Andrei Ilić will miss the match due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Robert Skov, Diogo Leite, Josip Juranović, and Tom Rothe continue their recovery.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
Matthias Jollenbeck will be the main referee at Borussia-Park. Over his last 10 matches, he has averaged 3.3 yellow cards per game. Gladbach are one of the most disciplined teams in the league, with just 31 yellow cards over 23 matches (an average of 1.3). Union rank fourth in this regard with 50 cautions (2.2 on average). In 6 of the last 7 head-to-head encounters between these teams, the total exceeded 3.5 yellow cards, making this a reasonable option to consider.
⚽ Goal Prediction
Union remain at the bottom of the Bundesliga in terms of average ball possession, around 41%, so it's expected that Gladbach will dominate possession for most of the match. Considering Baumgart's team's recent performances, a logical bet would be: Union's individual total under 1.5 goals. This has been the case in 8 of their last 9 away games.
🚩 Corner Prediction
In terms of average corners per match, the "Foals" slightly trail the "Iron Ones"-4.3 compared to 5.3. Set pieces are a crucial threat for the Berliners, but considering their away status and likely counter-attacking play, it's worth considering: Union's individual total under 5.5 corners. This bet has come through in six consecutive head-to-head matches in Gladbach.
Editor's Prediction
From a standings perspective, Borussia need the win more urgently. Union are relatively comfortable in mid-table and are unlikely to challenge for European spots this season. Their main goal is to avoid getting too close to the relegation zone.
Both teams show vulnerabilities in defense: Gladbach have conceded in seven consecutive matches, while Union have let goals in during seven of their last eight fixtures. Our prediction is both teams to score (yes), just like in their first-round encounter. We foresee a possible home victory with a scoreline of 2-1.
