RB Leipzig
- RB Leipzig have won four of their last five Bundesliga games, losing once.
- Ole Werner’s side are running on the high-intensity, high-pressing strategy that he has implemented since taking over as head coach from July 2025.
- The Red Bulls are third with 53 points from 28 matches, and their home record of nine wins, two draws and just three losses is a big reason for that.
- In Christoph Baumgartner, the hosts have one of the most dynamic and deadly attackers in Europe with 12 goals in 27 Bundesliga appearances, making him their biggest threat for the game.
Borussia Monchengladbach
- Borussia Monchengladbach have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five Bundesliga contests.
- Gladbach boss Eugen Polanski’s side have been far more structured and compact since he was promoted to the top role in September 2025.
- They have been more successful in their build-up play and are much more patient than before, but still have a go when the numbers are right in midfield, or when they can play off the counter.
- The visitors are 13th in the Bundesliga with 30 points from 28 games and have struggled on the road, winning only three of 14 away matches.
Head-to-Head
- It’s a 0-0 draw in the head-to-head from the last round of Bundesliga 2025/2026 at Borussia-Park.
- Leipzig are unbeaten in their last three meetings with Gladbach, with the Foals taking one win and two draws from that sequence.
Key Players
- Christoph Baumgartner - 12 goals in 27 Bundesliga appearances.
- Haris Tabakovic - 11 Bundesliga goals in 27 appearances.
Betting Insights
- Both teams to score looks good at around 1.53, but Leipzig should get the win in the end so we’re taking the home side at 1.5 and going for over 2.5 goals at 1.45.
- Leipzig average 2.43 goals scored per game at home in the Bundesliga, conceding 1.29 per game, so there should be a few in this one.
Prediction
- But in a game that promises plenty of goalmouth action, our main bet is on a home win in an attacking, both teams to score scenario.
- An attacking game is expected when RB Leipzig, who play at a high tempo, take on Borussia Monchengladbach, who set up to sit deep and counter attack, in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
