Comments and predictions for Brentford vs Borussia Monchengladbach: Last-minute win

Latest Brentford vs Borussia Monchengladbach team information

Brentford will hope creative midfielder Mikkel Damsgaard can strike up an effective link-up with striker Igor Thiago.

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

Former Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher has secured the No. 1 spot in goal and could continue to start behind centre-backs Sepp van den Berg and Nathan Collins.

On the away team's side, new signing Shuto Machino - a striker who just moved from Holstein Kiel for a fee of nearly 7 million pounds - will lead the attack.

The player is likely to play alongside Robin Hack, Franck Honorat and Kevin Stoger up front.

Meanwhile, Rocco Reitz and Philipp Sander are the two brightest names to take on the role of blocking in the midfield, supporting the central defender pair Nico Elvedi and Marvin Friedrich.

Latest Brentford vs Borussia Monchengladbach football commentary

Brentford had an impressive 2024-25 campaign, finishing 10th with 56 points – their second-highest tally in Premier League history – and were in the race for European qualification for much of the campaign.

However, despite the positive performances, fans remain concerned about the 2025-26 season after manager Thomas Frank left to take charge of Tottenham Hotspur earlier in the summer. Assistant manager Keith Andrews has been appointed from the club's internal coaching staff.

Last season, the London team was among the strongest attacking teams in the league, scoring 66 goals – the fifth best (tied) in the Premier League.

However, the loss of Bryan Mbeumo could have a major impact on the attack, while the future of Yoane Wissa remains unclear. Losing both strikers would leave Brentford in a significant predicament in attack.

Defensively, Brentford had the eighth worst defence in the Premier League last season with 57 goals conceded. However, they have only conceded once in their last two pre-season friendlies.

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

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

Gerardo Seoane’s side are just seven points off the Conference League places (sixth place) and have scored 55 goals – more than three of the five teams above them.

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

The German club has not been very active in the transfer market, spending only over 11.5 million pounds to bring in 4 new players this summer.

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

Monchengladbach ended the 2024-25 season without a win in their last four away games, losing all three of their last by an aggregate score of 8-5.
