Monchengladbach vs Bayern Prediction for 25 October 2025 - Football

🔊 Will Borussia claim their first victory, or will Bayern secure their thirteenth? In the 8th round of the Bundesliga, the Munich powerhouse travels to Mönchengladbach, aiming to set another record and solidify their lead in the league, as well as their status as one of Europe's top teams at the moment. Meanwhile, the hosts find themselves at the bottom of the table, still searching for their first win of the current season. Our prediction offers no room for miracles for Gladbach—just straightforward numbers and facts.

Head-to-Head

📊 Over the past 42 encounters, Bayern's edge isn't overwhelming: the Munich side have claimed 16 victories compared to Gladbach's 11, with 15 matches ending in a draw. Last season, Bayern defeated Borussia twice, both times modestly by their standards: 1-0 away and 2-0 at home.

Borussia M'gladbach Team Overview

⚫ In the last round, the Foals kicked off the seventh matchday of the championship with a Friday night clash in Berlin against Union, but failed to mount a competitive challenge against the hosts (1-3). Gladbach conceded as early as the 3rd minute, followed by another goal in the 26th minute. They managed to pull one back in the 33rd minute thanks to Haris Tabakovic (goal) and Yannick Engelhardt (assist). However, that was the end of their threats on Berlin's goal. In the second half, the Foals found the net again, but the officials ruled Tabakovic offside without even needing VAR.

🟢 This defeat marked their fourth loss and dropped them to the bottom of the table: no wins, three draws, and four losses (3 points). Besides having the fewest points, Gladbach have also scored the fewest goals—just 6, tied with Heidenheim. They've conceded 15 goals, with only Werder Bremen and Eintracht Frankfurt allowing more. How Borussia will stand up to such a powerful Bayern side remains an unanswered question.

Bayern Munich Team Overview

🔴 In the last round, Bayern faced a tough challenge at the Allianz Arena against Borussia Dortmund (2-1). Harry Kane delivered another stellar performance, scoring from a Joshua Kimmich assist. Michael Olise's football IQ was on display as he netted a rare and spectacular sliding goal for Bayern's second. Dortmund had three decent chances but only converted one in the 84th minute. After that, Bayern held firm, preventing the visitors from mounting pressure and even had opportunities to extend their lead, though Luis Diaz's finishing let them down. This victory marked the seventh win for Vincent Kompany's side in the league: Bayern confidently lead with 21 points, boasting the most goals scored (27) and the fewest conceded (4).

⚪ On Wednesday, Bayern hosted Club Brugge in the third round of the Champions League group stage and encountered no difficulties (4-0). The opening goal came from 17-year-old academy graduate Lennart Karl, who was named Man of the Match. Harry Kane, Luis Diaz, and Nicolas Jackson also found the net. In the Champions League, Bayern remain flawless with three wins out of three, alongside PSG, Inter Milan, Arsenal, and Real Madrid. Vincent Kompany's team has started the season powerfully: 12 victories in 12 matches across all competitions.

Borussia M'gladbach

🎙 Eugen Polanski on the game expectations: "I demand the same from the team as always: complete commitment, passion, and a will to fight. We know the level Bayern are at right now, how strong their play is, and the momentum they carry. Nevertheless, we must be ready to face challenges, act bravely, and find our way through small victorious moments. Bayern aren't doing anything fundamentally new, but they execute everything at the highest level. For us, it's crucial to embody our values on the pitch, fight decisively, and give our all in the game. That's the key to success against such an opponent."

🚑 Franck Honorat and Giovanni Reyna returned last week and are contenders for a spot in the starting lineup. Fabio Chiarodia is dealing with muscle issues and is likely to miss out. Robin Hack, Tim Kleindienst, and Nathan Ngumu remain unavailable.

Bayern Munich

🎙 Vincent Kompany on the victory over Brugge: "We played well today. We could have scored more, but keeping a clean sheet is crucial. We saw a lot of young players out there, and Lennart Carl showed he can contribute to the team. But I'm not one for hype; he needs to keep working hard. We knew we couldn't afford to drop points with matches against PSG and Arsenal coming up. We need to maximize our results. The main goal is to reach the playoffs, not worry about who will win the Champions League. Today we made a solid step forward."

🔝 Harry Kane has netted 20 goals in 12 matches for Bayern across all competitions—faster than Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo ever reached this milestone at the start of a club season.

🚑 Jamal Musiala has returned to light training following his injury, engaging in running, coordination exercises, and ball work with Serge Gnabry. Alphonso Davies, Josip Stanisic, and Hiroki Ito will miss the upcoming match.

🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards

🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards

The main referee for the match is Sascha Stegemann. Over his last 10 matches, he has averaged 2.4 yellow cards per game, indicating he's not the strictest official. The teams' averages for yellow cards are similar: Borussia at 2.3 and Bayern at 2.4. Our pick is over 2.5 yellow cards, a bet that has hit in 6 of the last 7 league matches for both teams.

⚽ Goal Prediction

The choice here seems clear, given the contrasting strengths of the teams. Borussia Mönchengladbach might manage to find the back of Bayern's net once, as the visitors' defense occasionally falters. However, we expect plenty of goals from Bayern. We opt for Bayern's individual total over 2.5 goals—it's unlikely that the current Borussia Mönchengladbach can halt the Munich machine.

🚩 Corner Prediction

There is one area where Borussia outperforms Bayern—corners. The "Foals" average 6.3 corners per game, the second-highest in the Bundesliga after Leipzig. Bayern's average is 4.9. We choose Borussia Mönchengladbach's individual total over 2.5 corners—this bet has come through in 12 consecutive matches for them.

It's hard to imagine the current Borussia side taking points off this Bayern team. All the stats, except for corners, favor the visitors. Munich are in outstanding form, and their upcoming opponent shouldn't pose much of a threat. The key is to avoid complacency, as tougher challenges lie ahead. Now is the time to capitalize on the opponent's vulnerabilities and solidify their lead at the top. We doubt the hosts will cause any real trouble for Bayern's defense. Our prediction: Bayern to win with a -1.5 handicap. Projected scoreline: 3-0.
