Elversberg’s playmaker gives them a leg-up
Cole Campbell has scored 1 goal in 1 Bundesliga 2026/2027 game and is SV Elversberg's top scorer in the league, but it's in the creative hub where Francis Onyeka (1 assist in 1 Bundesliga 2026/2027 appearance) really gives Vincent Wagner's men the edge in this clash.
Wagner has turned SV Elversberg into an interesting 4-2-3-1 side this season that has been set up to dominate the ball and play through the wings. The Elv will look to control the tempo and get on the front foot in this game, they should be able to suffocate games and score goals.
Borussia Monchengladbach have been an altogether more direct side this term, with Eugen Polanski's compact system looking to play with pace and verticality through the turnovers and with selective high pressing. It's a good system, though it will come undone if Elversberg can press them and get forward with numbers.
Stick with the value
Although the form clearly points to Elversberg, the 59/100 price on Gladbach as favourites is simply too big of a discount given the 41/10 price on the visitors and the 31/10 on the draw.
They've done well to win 4 of their last 5 games in all competions, but their league opener was a 3-0 defeat away to RB Leipzig, while Elversberg come into this on a three-game winning streak.
Gladbach will be on the back foot if Elversberg are able to get forward and control the game, but we think that the Foals have a nice edge in terms of pace in the final third and will be able to nick this. The over 2.5 goals price at 57/100 is another solid choice given how the Elv play and the style of Gladbach.
