Stuttgart vs Monchengladbach Prediction
Stuttgart vs Monchengladbach Prediction and Betting Tips for Matchday 2 of the Bundesliga, set for Saturday, August 30, at the MHPArena. Stuttgart are desperate to bounce back after a tough start, while Monchengladbach arrive searching for their first league win in nine attempts. In this piece, you’ll also find Bundesliga Predictions from XpertStats experts.
- Stuttgart suffered defeat to Union Berlin on the opening weekend, raising concerns about their slow starts.
- Monchengladbach are winless in their last eight Bundesliga games but did win in Stuttgart last season.
- Both teams have shown defensive frailties, pointing to another high-scoring battle.
- Key absences: Stuttgart lose striker Nick Woltemade, while Gladbach miss forward Tim Kleindienst.
Stuttgart’s season has been rocky already. A 2-1 loss to Union Berlin on opening weekend, paired with a Super Cup defeat to Bayern, left fans questioning the team’s readiness. Yes, they scraped past Eintracht Braunschweig on penalties in midweek DFB-Pokal action, but conceding four goals to a second-division side hardly inspires confidence. Sebastian Hoeness has a job on his hands. Can he tighten things up without his top scorer Nick Woltemade, who’s heading to Newcastle?
The good news for Die Roten is their firepower isn’t completely gone. Ermedin Demirovic is still around, and the Bosnian striker has been carrying the load, bagging twice already in the cup. They also ended last season with a morale-boosting 4-0 win at home against Augsburg, proof that this arena can still be their fortress. Still, their record of only eight league wins in 2025 so far doesn’t scream consistency.
On the other side, Borussia Monchengladbach also have their demons. A 0-0 draw with promoted Hamburg was hardly the statement fans wanted to see. Gerardo Seoane’s side conceded the highest expected goals tally in the league last season (64.3 xG against), and even in Hamburg they allowed 17 shots. That’s not a recipe for long-term success. Still, Gladbach did claim a 2-1 win here back in February, showing they’re capable of spoiling Stuttgart’s party.
The Fohlen’s injury list complicates things further, with key striker Tim Kleindienst sidelined. But there’s excitement about Giovanni Reyna possibly making his debut. The American playmaker has a knack for scoring against Stuttgart, with three career goals against them already. If Reyna clicks right away, Gladbach might finally end their winless Bundesliga run. Either way, with two fragile defenses and plenty of attacking flair, this clash has the ingredients for a lively afternoon. That’s why this one stands out among our Bundesliga Predictions this weekend.
Stuttgart and Monchengladbach both carry obvious attacking threats but look shaky at the back. Stuttgart shipped two goals to Union Berlin last weekend and four more against Braunschweig in the cup, showing defensive lapses are a recurring theme. Without Woltemade, they rely on Demirovic, who scored 15 Bundesliga goals last term and has already struck twice this season. Monchengladbach, meanwhile, ended last season conceding 57 league goals, and despite holding Hamburg 0-0 on Matchday 1, they still allowed 17 shots. Add in the possibility of Giovanni Reyna’s debut and his proven scoring record against Stuttgart and the odds of both sides finding the net rise. The last six meetings between these two sides in the Bundesliga have all produced goals, with both teams scoring in four of them. Given their defensive fragility and attacking options, it’s hard to see a clean sheet for either side.
Stuttgart’s opening matches of the season have been wild. A 2-1 defeat to Union Berlin followed by a 4-4 cup draw with Braunschweig tells you everything about their style right now: chaotic, leaky, but also dangerous up front. Demirovic remains a consistent goal threat, while Tiago Tomas adds extra firepower. Gladbach’s defense, meanwhile, was one of the worst in the Bundesliga last season, allowing 57 goals, and they’ve struggled to contain opponents despite that 0-0 in Hamburg. Historically, this matchup leans toward high-scoring affairs. Four of the last six Bundesliga meetings between these sides went over 2.5 goals, and both teams have attacking talent capable of punishing mistakes. With Stuttgart’s backline unsettled and Gladbach looking vulnerable but eager to end their winless streak, another goal-heavy game seems highly likely.
