Borussia Monchengladbach vs RB Leipzig Prediction 28.11.2025 | Bundesliga

Once a team capable of consistently inserting themselves into the top-four conversation, Borussia Monchengladbach have endured a sharp and undeniable decline in recent years — a reality best illustrated by four consecutive bottom-half finishes.

Their current Bundesliga campaign opened on a similarly bleak and discouraging note, with the Foals needing a full nine gameweeks to finally secure their first taste of victory, delivered in emphatic fashion through a dazzling 4–0 demolition of St. Pauli.

That breakthrough appears to have sparked a genuine resurgence. Gladbach followed it up with two further eye-catching wins — first overpowering FC Koln 3–1, then dismantling rock-bottom Heidenheim with a composed 3–0 display. This flawless response not only dragged them clear of the relegation scrap but also carved out a valuable five-point cushion above the bottom three.

Head coach Eugen Polanski will still be without several squad members, though Fabio Chiarodia, Philipp Sander, Nathan Ngoumou, and Jan Urbich are all progressing well in their recoveries, and one of them could be fit enough to earn a place on the bench.

Since their arrival in the Bundesliga a decade ago, RB Leipzig have consistently delivered high-end campaigns, regularly securing top-four finishes — until last season’s unexpected collapse, which left them outside the European spots after a disappointing seventh-place finish.

With no continental commitments this term, Die Roten Bullen appear fully locked in on redeeming that underwhelming campaign, and so far the response has been impressive. They currently stand as Bayern Munich’s nearest title challengers, sitting six points off the pace and clearly signaling their ambitions.

Their dominance at home has been unquestionable, boasting a perfect five-from-five record at the Red Bull Arena, but Ole Werner’s men must sharpen their approach on the road, given that both of their league setbacks this season have come away from home — including a 3-1 collapse at Hoffenheim in their latest travel assignment.

Complicating matters further is Leipzig’s lengthy absentee list. El Chadaille Bitshiabu, Benjamin Henrichs, Viggo Gebel, and Assan Ouedraogo are all confirmed out, while forward Romulo continues to struggle with a knee issue and remains doubtful.
