Vfb Stuttgart vs Borussia Mgladbach Game Preview

Gladbach show up at MHPArena on Friday night sitting dead last, and this Vfb Stuttgart vs Borussia Mgladbach prediction leans hard toward a Stuttgart team with far more answers going forward.

Sebastian Hoeneß's side sit 13th in the standings. Even so, the Vfb Stuttgart vs Borussia Mgladbach betting odds make them -250 (Polymarket) favorites, which tells you how wide the gap looks.

Gladbach are stuck in a full-blown slump. They are bottom of the standings without a point, and Alexander Blessin, appointed head coach on September 22, 2026, is still waiting on a first league win.

The stakes for the visitors are ugly. Gladbach are trying to avoid a club record of seven straight defeats to open a Bundesliga season, and Stuttgart are in no mood to be generous.

Vfb Stuttgart vs Borussia Mgladbach Recent Results

Stuttgart's league rhythm stalled with a 1-0 loss at Hamburg, which ended back-to-back Bundesliga wins. In midweek they tied 1-1 with Atletico Madrid in the Champions League and couldn't make Morten Hjulmand's red card count, with Jamie Leweling getting their goal. Ermedin Demirovic remains the attacking hub behind the striker.

Gladbach have lost their last 6 games in the Bundesliga, most recently back-to-back 2-1 defeats to Hoffenheim and FC Köln. They are already adrift at the foot of the standings without a point. Bolin and Mohya carry the creative load behind the striker, but the defense keeps handing games away.

Vfb Stuttgart

Josha Vagnoman is doubtful with a calf injury picked up against Atletico Madrid, the main worry in the Vfb Stuttgart vs Borussia Mgladbach lineups. Lorenz Assignon is in line for a like-for-like swap on the right, while Maximilian Mittelstädt started against Atletico but could be rested on Friday night.

Borussia Mgladbach

Isac Lidberg left the Hoffenheim game early and will be assessed before the trip to Stuttgart, so the striker spot is up in the air. Tim Kleindienst still faces another two games on the sidelines with a minor issue, and the visitors' injury list runs deep.

Vfb Stuttgart vs Borussia Mgladbach Prediction & Best Picks

Our Prediction

We're calling a Stuttgart win in a game where both teams find the net. The projections have Stuttgart at 2.72 goals, and Gladbach come in at 1.28. That's a home side with the wing play and chance creation to pull a leaky back three apart, against visitors who can still nick something when Stuttgart get sloppy on the counter. That view drives the best picks below.

Best Picks

Both Teams To Score: Yes. Gladbach have conceded at least twice in each of their last six league games and still carry a threat on the break. In the Both Teams To Score market, Yes lines up with the projections, which put both sides scoring at 67.48%. Stuttgart rate poorly at defending counter attacks, and that's exactly where Gladbach's direct, long-ball approach can bite.

Total Goals Over/Under: Over 3.5 Goals. The model projects a high-scoring game in Stuttgart. In the Total Goals Over/Under market, the projected total of 4 goals clears this line. Stuttgart have seen over 2.5 goals in 9 of their last 10 games against Gladbach in all competitions, and this matchup rarely stays quiet.

Vfb Stuttgart vs Borussia Mgladbach Talking Points

Hoeneß has flagged the short turnaround from the Champions League as the big challenge, and he wants his side feeding off the home crowd under the Friday night floodlights at MHPArena. The tactical matchup favors the hosts. Stuttgart are strong attacking down the wings and from set pieces, while Gladbach struggle to defend set pieces and long shots. The catch is at the other end, where Stuttgart's issues stopping counter attacks give a direct, crossing-heavy Gladbach side a way back into this game.
