Borussia Dortmund vs Borussia M.Gladbach prediction 19.12.2025 | Bundesliga

Borussia Dortmund return to home comforts after a hard-fought 1:1 draw against Freiburg last weekend. Despite the second-half dismissal of English midfielder Jobe Bellingham, Dortmund held on for a hard-earned point at Europa Park.

Niko Kovač has made his BVB side tough-to-beat this season, with the hosts losing only one of 14 Bundesliga fixtures. Dortmund have lost only three of 23 games played across all competitions. 

A remarkable home record against Monchengladbach will give the hosts plenty of confidence this weekend. Incredibly, BVB won 19 of 20 previous matches against BMG at Signal Iduna Park. 

Head coach Kovac is unable to call on Jobe Bellingham after his red card against Freiburg. Marcel Sabitzer, Julian Brandt, Aarón Anselmino, and Waldemar Anton also remain sidelined with injury issues.

Borussia M.Gladbach make the trip to Dortmund after a disappointing 3:1 home defeat against Wolfsburg last weekend. Three goals conceded in the opening period ensured a miserable day out for the BMG faithful.

Before last weekend's home defeat, Eugen Polanski's side had enjoyed a strong run of form in the Bundesliga, winning four and drawing one of five previous fixtures. Monchengladbach now sit 11th in the division, five points above the drop zone. 

High-scoring outcomes can usually be expected when Die Fohlen are involved. Eight of their last ten competitive fixtures finished with a minimum of three goals scored. 

Indeed, a home win with plenty of goalmouth action should be on the cards in Dortmund. BVB won 19 of their last 20 home games against Monchengladbach, while a minimum of three goals were scored in their last six meetings at Signal Iduna Park. 

Head coach Polanski has several injury issues to deal with this weekend. Franck Honorat and Robin Hack are doubtful, while Tim Kleindienst, Marvin Friedrich, Jan Urbich, Fabio Chiarodia, Nathan N’Goumou, and Florian Neuhaus are all out.
