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 team news: Scally suspended
United States international defender Joe Scally is missing through suspension for the hosts this week, and they are also dealing with plenty of injury issues such as Germany international duo Florian Neuhaus and Tim Kleindienst.

Wolfsburg team news: Plenty of issues
Wolfsburg are dealing with plenty of injury issues for this one as the likes of Joakim Maehle and Jonas Wind are confirmed absentees with Jesper Lindstrom and Mohamed Amoura among those that are doubtful.
Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Grabara; Kumbedi, Seelt, Koulierakis, Zehtner; Gerhardt, Arnold; Eriksen, Majer, Wimmer; Pecinovic
Unavailable: Rogerio (Injured), Maehle (Injured), Dardai (Injured), Daghim (Injured), Paredes (Injured), Wind (Injured)
Questionable: Muller (Concussion), Fischer (Injured), Jenz (Injured), Vinicius (Injured), Lindstrom (Injured), Amoura (Injured)
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.
