VfL Wolfsburg (6-6-18, 17th) host Borussia Mönchengladbach (7-10-13, 13th) in the thirty-first matchweek of the 2025/26 Bundesliga season.
VfL Wolfsburg are two points into the relegation zone, but can move up to sixteenth should they win today and FC St. Pauli lose to 1. FC Heidenheim 1846.
Borussia Mönchengladbach are five points safe from the relegation playoff – a win today would put them just one point away from confirming their 2026/27 Bundesliga spot. A loss, and a St. Pauli win against Heidenheim, means that they go into the relegation battle for the thirty-second matchweek.
VfL Wolfsburg have won all of the last three meetings between the two sides (5-1, 1-0, 3-1); however, none of them were with Dieter Hecking as coach. Borussia Mönchengladbach will also look to end a nine-match winless streak, the longest since going winless in ten in 2023/24 – that streak coincidentally ended with a 3-1 win against Wolfsburg at Volkswagen Arena.
VfL Wolfsburg (3-3-2-2): Grabara – Koulierakis, Vavro, Belocian – Zehnter, Souza, Mæhle – Eriksen, Wimmer – Amoura, Pejčinović.
Borussia Mönchengladbach (3-1-4-2): Nicolas – Chiarodia, Elvedi, Sander – Engelhardt – Castrop, Stöger, Reitz, Scally – Tabaković, Honorat.
