Borussia Monchengladbach preview: In-form Gladbach
Borussia Monchengladbach, who replaced Gerardo Seoane with Eugen Polanski in mid-September, have been much-improved of late as they try and push themselves into the top-half of the Bundesliga table.
The home team edged past struggling Mainz by a goal to nil away from home last weekend, meaning that they have collected 13 points from their last five matches in the Bundesliga.
Wolfsburg preview: Struggling Wolfsburg
Wolfsburg begin the 14th match day of the 2025/26 Bundesliga campaign sitting just outside of the bottom three and the danger zone after a very tricky start to the campaign with two wins in their opening 12 matches.
However, the visitors did manage to get themselves a much-needed third win of the season last week with a 3-1 victory over Union Berlin at the Volkswagen Arena, courtesy of goals from Patrick Wimmer, Mohamed Amoura and Lovro Majer.

Borussia Monchengladbach vs Wolfsburg prediction
Borussia Monchengladbach, with their innovative 3-3-2-2 system, akin to that of Manchester City’s treble-winning 3-2-4-1 shape, have been very good of late, albeit they needed an own goal to beat a poor Mainz side last week. Wolfsburg came from behind to defeat an average Union side last time out and there is a feeling that result may well be anomalous and so siding with Gladbach may well be the way to go for this one.
