Borussia Mönchengladbach vs. VfB Stuttgart
At the start of the 13th matchday of the Bundesliga, Borussia from Mönchengladbach, who are in poor form, welcome the up-and-coming VfB Stuttgart to Borussia Park. The match kicks off on Friday evening at 8:30 pm.
In the run-up to this match, a look at the table speaks in favour of the Foals, but a look at the current form speaks more in favour of the Swabians. VfB Stuttgart have already collected more points in three Bundesliga games under new coach Michael Wimmer (six) than in the first nine matchdays under Pellegrino Matarazzo (five). Gladbach, on the other hand, are winless in four games and have lost all of their last three.
If Daniel Farke’s team now also loses to VfB Stuttgart, they could even drop to 13th place in the table. After a good start to the season, the mood at the Foals could quickly change in this case. Our Gladbach vs. Stuttgart betting tips tell you whether we think this is the case and what other predictions we have for this match.

Gladbach Form & Balance Check
All Borussia Mönchengladbach fans are going through a real rollercoaster ride of emotions this season. Both in a positive and negative sense, there have already been big surprises so far. The Foals will look back fondly on the 5:2 derby win against Cologne or the convincing 3:0 home win against Champions League representatives RB Leipzig. On the other hand, however, there is also a disastrous 1:5 in Bremen, a 0:3 deficit at home against Frankfurt and the fresh cup exit at second division side Darmstadt 98 (1:2).
Does the liberation strike succeed?
The elimination at the Böllenfalltor was followed a few days later by the aforementioned sleepy first half against Eintracht Frankfurt, which ultimately resulted in a mild 1:3 defeat. The last match at 1. FC Union had the better end for Borussia’s opponents for the third time in a row, although they were still leading 1:0 at the home strong leader until the 79th minute. If the duel with VfB Stuttgart now also goes to shit, things will start to get uncomfortable. However, the Foals should save themselves a glance at the history books before the upcoming match – none of the last five encounters with VfB resulted in three points in the end.
Gladbach facts & analysis

Stuttgart form & balance check
After a disappointing start to the season and only five points from their first nine games (all by draws), VfB Stuttgart are finally showing an upward trend. With the two home wins against Bochum (4:1) and Augsburg (3:2), new coach Michael Wimmer has already surpassed his predecessor’s points tally. With the last of a total of 31 shots on goal, his team secured a highly deserved home victory last weekend (31:12 shots on goal). For VfB, it was the highest number of shots on target in a Bundesliga match since March 2007, not to mention their convincing 6-0 win over Bielefeld in the cup.
2022 still without a win away
The new head coach has started his tenure with three victories at home, but he has not yet been able to overcome his weakness on the road in his first attempt. After the clear defeat on the penultimate matchday in Dortmund, VfB is still waiting for its first away win in the Bundesliga in the calendar year 2022.
After only 13 minutes, BVB was already two goals in front in the 5:0 victory. This situation was not new for VfB, who have conceded a total of seven goals in the opening quarter of an hour – more than any other team in the Bundesliga. Should this happen again at Borussia Park, however, there is still hope. In their last encounter with Gladbach on matchday 25 last season, VfB came back from 2-0 down to win 3-2.
Stuttgart facts & analysis
– 11 points from 12 games
– Last win 3:2 against Augsburg
– In that win, most shots on goal in a BL game since 2007 (31)
Predicted line-up – last update on 3 November 2022
For Borussia, Yann Sommer, Florian Neuhaus, Ko Itakura and Hannes Wolf continue to be out. There are not many alternatives for the starting eleven. Manu Koné is back after serving his yellow ban and will most likely play for Nathan Ngoumou. Christoph Kramer moves to the ten and Lars Stindl to the wing.
Enzo Millot recently complained of thigh problems, but could be ready for action again against Gladbach. Josha Vagnoman is still not an option. The starting eleven is largely set, with Lucas Pfeiffer, Atakan Karazor and Dan-Axel Zagadou as alternatives.
