Borussia Monchengladbach vs St. Pauli Prediction 13.03.2026 | Bundesliga

Currently languishing in an underwhelming 12th place, Borussia Monchengladbach approach this crucial encounter amid their poorest return at this stage of a campaign since the 2010-11 season, having gathered a paltry 25 points from the same number of Bundesliga outings.

Pressure continues to mount on head coach Eugen Polanski after he watched his side suffer a heavy 4-1 defeat away to Bayern Munich last weekend, with just one victory from their previous nine league appearances leaving Die Fohlen hovering only a single point above the relegation zone.

While Borussia-Park has remained their most reliable source of points in recent weeks, producing two wins and a draw from the last four home fixtures, the psychological blow from their December DFB-Pokal elimination at the hands of St Pauli still lingers around the squad.

Gladbach will also be slightly weakened by the absence of influential midfielder Rocco Reitz, who is suspended following his red card in the clash with Bayern, while attacking options Robin Hack, Nathan Ngoumou and Tim Kleindienst all continue their respective recovery processes.

Arriving in Monchengladbach arguably in their most consistent spell of the campaign, St Pauli have managed to edge their way into the relegation playoff position after suffering just one defeat across their last five Bundesliga outings, collecting three victories alongside a draw during that encouraging stretch.

However, the Kiezkicker continue to struggle badly on their travels, having slumped to nine defeats from 13 league trips this season, a worrying pattern that has been compounded by a blunt attacking line averaging a modest 0.76 goals per away match.

On a more encouraging note, Alexander Blessin’s side have recently displayed signs of defensive resilience and discipline, putting together more than 180 minutes without conceding while narrowly defeating Hoffenheim 1-0 before battling to a goalless stalemate with Eintracht Frankfurt.

Still, St Pauli head into this contest with a growing injury list, as David Nemeth, Karol Mets, Mathias Rasmussen and Andreas Hountondji are all ruled out through injury, while right back Manolis Saliakas remains a doubt for the trip.
