Brentford vs Borussia Monchengladbach Prediction: Last-minute win

Latest team news for Brentford vs Borussia Monchengladbach

Brentford hopes that creative midfielder Mikkel Damsgaard can form an effective link with striker Igor Thiago.

Fabio Carvalho and Keane Lewis-Potter are likely to continue playing on the wings, as they did in the last match, supporting the central midfield duo of Yehor Yarmolyuk and Mathias Jensen.

Former Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher has secured the number one spot in goal and could continue to be the starting goalkeeper behind centre-backs Sepp van den Berg and Nathan Collins.

On the visitors' side, new signing Shuto Machino – a striker who recently transferred from Holstein Kiel for a fee of nearly £7 million – will lead the attack.

This player will most likely play alongside Robin Hack, Franck Honorat, and Kevin Stoger in the attacking line.

Meanwhile, Rocco Reitz and Philipp Sanders are the two most promising names to take on the defensive midfield role, supporting the central defensive pairing of Nico Elvedi and Marvin Friedrich.

Latest football match prediction: Brentford vs Borussia Monchengladbach

Brentford had an impressive 2024-25 season, finishing 10th with 56 points – the second-highest finish in Premier League history – and they were in contention for European qualification for much of the season.

However, despite the positive performances, fans remain concerned about the 2025-26 season after manager Thomas Frank left the club to take over Tottenham Hotspur earlier this summer. Assistant coach Keith Andrews has been appointed as his replacement from within the club's coaching staff.

Last season, the London team had one of the strongest attacks in the league, scoring 66 goals – a record that ranked fifth (tied) in the Premier League.

However, the loss of Bryan Mbeumo could significantly impact the attack, while Yoane Wissa's future remains uncertain. Losing both strikers would leave Brentford in considerable difficulty in attack.

In terms of defense, Brentford had the eighth-worst defense in the Premier League last season with 57 goals conceded. However, they have only conceded one goal in their two recent pre-season friendly matches.

Brentford won one and drew one of their pre-season friendlies – scoring two goals – and while they had won two of their last three home games last season, they had previously drawn three and lost six of their nine home games at Gtech.

On the visitors' side, Borussia Monchengladbach's 2024-25 Bundesliga season marks a significant improvement over the previous season, with a total of 45 points – 11 points more than the 2023-24 season.

Gerardo Seoane's team is just 7 points behind a Conference League qualifying spot (6th place). They have scored 55 goals – more than three of the five teams above them.

However, the defense remains a problem, with Monchengladbach having conceded the most goals among the top 14 teams with 57 goals against, although this is still 10 fewer than in the 2023-24 season.

The German club hasn't been very active in the transfer market, spending just over £11.5 million to bring in four new players this summer.

Coach Seoane is having a very successful pre-season, with the team having played 6 friendly matches and winning 5, scoring at least 2 goals in each win.

Monchengladbach finished the 2024-25 season without a win in their last four away games, including three consecutive defeats with a combined score of 8-5.
