- Borussia Monchengladbach are rock bottom of the Bundesliga 2026/2027 table with 0 points.
- VfB Stuttgart have won their last 3 games across all current competitions.
- Stuttgart have won 4 of the last 5 head-to-head meetings and Gladbach have won the other.
Gladbach are in a state of crisis
Stuttgart are 12th in the Bundesliga 2026/2027 with six points from five games and Borussia Monchengladbach sit rock bottom with no points after a nightmare start to the season.
Sebastian Hoeneß' side are the much more lively and buzzing of the two sides heading into Friday's clash at MHPArena, having beaten Greuther Fürth 5-0, won 2-0 at Paderborn and then beaten Slovan Bratislava 3-0 away in the Champions League.
Josha Vagnoman has the two goals to lead the Bundesliga scoring for Die Schwaben with 2 in 4 appearances, but Angelo Stiller has been the tempo-setter with 3 assists in the last 5 games.
Borussia's woes are not helped by their dismal away record this term of 0 wins, 0 draws and 3 defeats from 3 Bundesliga 2026/2027 trips, with just 0.33 goals per game scored and 3.33 conceded on average.
Alexander Blessin has introduced a more intense, wing-based pressing system, but there is still a way to go in getting it bedded in and Hugo Bolin is Gladbach's top scorer in the Bundesliga with 2 goals from 4 appearances.
Stuttgart should be in the driver's seat
Gladbach's record of 5 matches won zero, drawn 1 and lost 4 across all competitions is making the form guide look very bleak, while the head-to-head history also points to a home win.
Stuttgart have won 4 of the last 5 meetings and lost the other, so it is a huge surprise to see the hosts listed as short as 1.34 favourites with Gladbach and the draw way out at 8.0 and 5.0, respectively.
Over 2.5 goals at 1.3 and BTTS Yes at 1.45 both look like decent choices for this game, but it is Stuttgart who will do the damage and we are taking the hosts to come out on top.
