Match outlook: Gladbach seek to halt Leipzig's charge at Borussia-Park
Borussia Mönchengladbach welcome RB Leipzig to Stadion im Borussia-Park on 28/11/2025 in what promises to be a lively Bundesliga night. The home side arrive in mixed form despite an eye-catching run of results in recent weeks — Gladbach sit 12th with 12 points from 11 matches, buoyed by a string of wins against Heidenheim, Köln and St. Pauli that have revived confidence. Those victories, including a 3-0 away win over Heidenheim, show Gladbach can be clinical, yet their defensive ledger of 19 conceded leaves them vulnerable at home in a stadium that holds 54,057 expectant fans.
RB Leipzig, meanwhile, arrive as one of the division’s form teams. Sitting second with 25 points, Leipzig have been relentless in attack across their last fixtures, scoring six at Augsburg and following up with solid results like a 2-0 win over Werder Bremen. Their recent string reads as dominant — eight wins, one draw and a single loss in the last ten — and that consistency is reflected in the bookmakers’ market, where Leipzig are priced as favorites to take all three points.
Key battle and statistical trends
This clash will be shaped by Leipzig’s attacking output against a Gladbach side that, while capable of scoring (16 goals so far), also leaks chances. Gladbach’s home record shows they've conceded 14 at Borussia-Park across the season, and their matches tend to produce goals: over 2.5 has been a frequent outcome for both teams. Leipzig boast superior shot and chance metrics — higher averages in total shots, shots on target and dangerous attacks — and have translated that into 22 goals this campaign. The head-to-head edge is narrow; their most recent meeting ended 1-0 to Gladbach back in March, a reminder that Leipzig cannot be taken for granted in Mönchengladbach.

Betting suggestion
Given Leipzig’s form, statistical superiority and the bookmaker pricing that still gives them clear probability to win, the most compelling single-market pick is to back RB Leipzig in the 1X2 market. The away win captures Leipzig’s momentum, their attacking firepower and Gladbach’s uneven defensive record at home. Stake conservatively and consider combining this with a goals-focused approach if you prefer a higher-return angle, but for a straight, data-backed selection: back RB Leipzig to win.
