Comments and predictions for Monchengladbach vs Wolfsburg: The home team's fatal blow

Latest Monchengladbach vs Wolfsburg team information

Marvin Friedrich (hip) is doubtful to return for Gladbach, while Yvandro Borges Sanches (muscle), Nathan N'Goumou (Achilles) and goalkeeper Moritz Nicolas (groin) are all doubtful.

Tim Kleindienst has now scored 16 Bundesliga goals and is one of the players with the most match-winning goals in the league (4) – only bettered by Harry Kane (10), Jonathan Burkardt (7), Patrik Schick (6) and Serhou Guirassy (5). He will be expected to continue his brilliant form in the final game of the season.

For Wolfsburg, Kilian Fischer (knee) and goalkeeper Marius Muller (illness) are doubtful. Kevin Paredes (thigh) and Mattias Svanberg (knee) are almost certainly absent.

Mohammed Amoura and Jonas Wind have scored 10 and 9 goals for Wolfsburg this season respectively, accounting for 34.5% of the team's total (55 goals). Both will continue to be the hope of the attack on the final day.

Latest football commentary Monchengladbach vs Wolfsburg

When Gladbach won two consecutive victories against Werder Bremen (4-2) and RB Leipzig (1-0), then drew with St Pauli, the team's fans had every right to expect an impressive sprint to end the season.

However, having picked up just one point from their last five Bundesliga games means Gerardo Seoane's side enter the final round with the reality that they cannot go higher than eighth. That scenario would only happen if Gladbach take all three points and both Bremen and Stuttgart lose to Heidenheim and RB Leipzig respectively.

A clear testament to the team's inconsistent form is their poor record at Borussia-Park, where they have won just one of their last six, losing three in the process.

They could have had another win if they had held on to their 2-0 and 3-2 leads against Hoffenheim in the previous round, but they let the lead slip both times and needed a late equaliser from Tim Kleindienst to avoid defeat.

After losing 1-5 in the first leg in Lower Saxony, Die Fohlen are looking to end the season on a positive note and at the same time continue Wolfsburg's streak of forgettable matches.

Wolfsburg have not won in eight consecutive games under coach Ralph Hasenhuttl, and that streak has been extended to nine since Daniel Bauer took temporary charge.

However, this is not the worst run the Wolves have ever experienced – they did not win 11 consecutive matches from December 2023 to March 2024.

Wolfsburg’s biggest problem at the moment is their defence. They have not kept a clean sheet since a 0-0 draw with Bayer Leverkusen – last season’s champions – in February. In total, they have conceded in each of their last 13 Bundesliga games.

If Bauer finds a tactic that helps the defense lock down Gladbach on Saturday, it will be a pleasant surprise.

Wolfsburg ended a nine-game winless streak against Gladbach in the first leg, and now they hope to do a 'double' against their opponents for the first time since the 2009-10 season.

If they win and Augsburg lose to Union Berlin, Wolfsburg will finish the season higher than 12th – their current position before the final round.
