The match will be played at Borussia-Park and broadcast live on Amazon Prime (Ger) and Sky Sport Bundesliga 1 (Ger). It’s the kind of Rhine derby that makes the air crackle – two rivals, one region, and a lot at stake. In this article, you’ll find Bundesliga Predictions and analysis from XpertStats tipsters.

• Monchengladbach finally snapped a 15-game winless streak with a 4-0 away win at St. Pauli.
• FC Koln are unbeaten in their last four Bundesliga matches and sit comfortably in 7th place.
• Key injuries on both sides could define the rhythm of this high-stakes Rhine derby.
• Both teams average over 2.5 goals per match, promising another open and thrilling battle.

Gladbach finally ended a painful 15-match drought last weekend, hammering St. Pauli 4-0 away. Interim boss Eugen Polanski might’ve just lit the spark the Foals desperately needed. Haris Tabakovic, who bagged a brace, now has five goals, half of the team’s total in the Bundesliga. Still, their defensive fragility remains glaring: 2.6 goals conceded per match, just 0.8 scored on average. The math doesn’t lie. Borussia-Park hasn’t been kind either; no home wins since March. Can Polanski turn that tide? Hard to say, but momentum counts, and they’ve got a little of it back now.

What Gladbach do have going for them is energy. Players like Rocco Reitz and Yannik Engelhardt are grinding in midfield, while new signing Kevin Diks has tightened the backline a touch. But injuries continue to bite hard, Kleindienst, Hack, and Ngoumou are all sidelined. Polanski’s 3-4-2-1 setup might stick after success at St. Pauli, with Honorat and Neuhaus floating behind Tabakovic. If their front line clicks again, we could see a much livelier Gladbach than the one we’ve grown used to this season. Still, consistency is the real test.

Koln, on the other hand, look like a team in motion. Lukas Kwasniok’s side come in unbeaten in four, including a commanding 4-1 win against Hamburg. That result may flatter them, Hamburg saw red twice, but Koln’s confidence is soaring nonetheless. Said El Mala, with four league goals and now a national call-up, has become their talisman. Defensively, though, the cracks are visible: 1.4 goals conceded per match, and key absences in the backline. Hübers, Kilian, and van den Berg are all missing, leaving a patched-up defense to deal with Tabakovic’s form.

Still, Koln’s attack has enough spark to trouble anyone. Ache’s pace, Kaminski’s creativity, and Kainz’s set-piece danger make them unpredictable. Their matches average 2.6 goals, and they’ve hit over 8.5 corners in every single league game so far, a dream for set-piece lovers. It’s the classic setup: a wounded giant at home versus a confident visitor. The stats suggest goals, and the form table leans Koln’s way. If they stay compact and strike on the counter, they could extend their unbeaten streak. Maybe even more. It’s the kind of fixture that could shift both teams’ seasons in opposite directions.
