On 17 May 2025, Borussia Mönchengladbach will welcome Wolfsburg to Borussia-Park in what promises to be an intriguing late-season Bundesliga fixture. Kick-off across Europe is set for 15:30 CEST (Italy, Germany, France, Spain) and 14:30 BST in the UK.
This match comes as both sides look to pick up momentum heading into the final stretch of the campaign. While titles and European spots may be out of reach, pride and preparation for next season are still very much on the line.
How are both teams coming into this?
Borussia Mönchengladbach have slipped off their early-season form and are now struggling to string together positive results. After a series of draws and narrow defeats, the hosts find themselves flirting with the bottom half of the table. Stability at the back has been an issue, and confidence in front of goal is low.
Wolfsburg arrive in similar fashion—unable to build any consistent winning run. Their away record this season has been particularly patchy, with defensive lapses and a lack of cutting edge in attack costing them vital points. Managerial changes and injuries have disrupted any attempt at cohesion.
Our forecast
We expect a cautious affair, with both teams wary of conceding early. Considering their recent struggles, it’s unlikely either side will go all-out from the first whistle. A tactical midfield battle could define the outcome, with neither defence inspiring great confidence.
Given the low-scoring trend between these two and the end-of-season nerves, backing under 2.5 goals feels like the safest play. A draw also has strong appeal, as both will be happy to share the spoils rather than risk it all chasing a win.
