Thanh Vinh•January 25, 2026 08:22

VfB Stuttgart aims to solidify its position in the top 5 when it travels to the Borussia Park to face a severely depleted Mönchengladbach side on the evening of January 25th.

VfB Stuttgart has a great opportunity to maintain their lead in the race for a Champions League spot when they face Borussia Mönchengladbach in the upcoming Bundesliga match. While the visitors maintain consistent form with a five-match unbeaten streak, the home team Gladbach is struggling in the middle of the table and facing a serious personnel crisis.

9:30 PM on January 25th - The highlight at BORUSSIA-PARK

The match takes place against the backdrop of two teams in completely contrasting positions. VfB Stuttgart currently sits in 5th place with 33 points, only a short distance behind the leading group. Conversely, Borussia Mönchengladbach is ranked 11th with 20 points and desperately needs a positive result to avoid falling further into the bottom half of the table.

The away team's form and statistics are overwhelming.

VfB Stuttgart is showing a vibrant performance under its current coaching staff. In their last five matches, they have secured three wins and two draws. The attacking prowess of the "White Swans" is undeniable, with 33 goals in 18 matches, averaging 1.8 goals per game. Notably, their ability to capitalize on opportunities away from home is quite good, with four wins since the start of the season.

In contrast to that resurgence, Borussia Mönchengladbach is going through a difficult period. In their last five matches, they have only managed one win, along with one draw and three defeats. The defense of the Borussia-Park team is a major concern, having conceded 29 goals (an average of 1.6 goals per game), an alarming figure considering Stuttgart's powerful attack.

The head-to-head history favors Stuttgart.

Statistics from the last five encounters show a slight advantage for the away team with 3 wins, while Gladbach won 2 matches. The first leg in August 2025 ended with a 1-0 victory for Stuttgart. However, Gladbach also has reason to be confident, having previously defeated their opponent 3-1 in their last home match in January 2024.

Team news: A heavy blow to the home team.

Borussia Mönchengladbach enters this match with a lengthy injury list. The team will definitely be missing four key players: K. Diks (head injury), R. Hack (knee injury), T. Kleindienst (knee injury), and N. Ngoumou (Achilles tendon injury). In addition, the availability of FC Chiarodia and M. Friedrich remains uncertain.

For VfB Stuttgart, the most significant loss is the absence of defender D. Zagadou due to a muscle injury. A number of other players, including A. Stiller, T. Tomas, and L. Jovanovic, are experiencing fitness issues and require final assessment from the medical team. Nevertheless, with their current squad depth, Stuttgart is still considered the stronger team in terms of game control.

Predicting the course of the match

Based on current form and squad situation, experts assess that VfB Stuttgart has a 50% chance of winning and a 50% chance of the match ending in a draw. With Gladbach missing several key players in both attack and defense, securing points at home will be an extremely difficult challenge for them.

Assessment:VfB Stuttgart ranged from draws to wins.
