Borussia Monchengladbach vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction and Betting Tips

Borussia Monchengladbach will take on Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, 7 December as the Bundesliga moves on to matchday 13.

The hosts come into the match in 10th position in the league table but are just three points behind Borussia Dortmund in fifth so it could be all change if the result goes their way on Saturday.

The visitors will still be reeling after letting their lead slip in the final minutes against Bayern Munich next week and will be out to put things right this weekend.

How the bookies view it: Dortmund have the edge

Borussia Dortmund are considered the favourites with the bookies for this one which isn't a huge surprise given that they are five places higher in the league table than their opponents. Kwiff have priced a Borussia Dortmund win at 1.95 while a victory for Borussia Monchengladbach has been priced at 2.95. The draw, which wouldn't be a great result for either side, has been priced at 3.25.

Recent head-to-head: Advantage Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund have had the better of Borussia Monchengladbach in recent meetings between the two clubs with Die Schwarzgelben winning four of the last five encounters. Borussia Monchengladbach's most recent victory over Dortmund came in 2022 when they won 4-2 in a match also played at Borussia Park.

Players to watch: The return of two key men

Borussia Dortmund were without two of their key players last weekend when they faced Bayern Munich but Karim Adeyemi and Julian Brandt are both reportedly ready to return for Nuri Sahin's men this weekend.

The return of Adeyemi, in particular, is a huge boost for Borussia Dortmund with the talented forward set to play his first match since scoring a hat-trick against Celtic at the beginning of October. The 22-year-old is one of the club's best-attacking options and will provide them with an entirely different threat should he take to the field on Saturday.

The return of Brandt is also a welcome one for Borussia Dortmund. The experienced midfielder is one of the club's most reliable players and hit double digits for assists in the Bundesliga last season. Can he create more magic against Borussia Monchengladbach?

The man most likely to cause problems for Borussia Dortmund on Saturday is Tim Kleindienst. The 29-year-old is having the best season of his career and has scored eight goals and provided four assists in the Bundesliga so far.

Predicted line-ups

As mentioned, Adeyemi and Brandt could return for Borussia Dortmund on Saturday but they remain without Waldemar Anton for this one. Borussia Monchengladbach have a few players who are considered touch-and-go ahead of kick-off, including Luca Netz, Alassane Plea and Florian Neuhaus.

Borussia Monchengladbach: Nicolas – Scally, Friedrich, Itakura, Ullrich – Weigl, Reitz – Honorat, Plea, Hack – Kleindienst

Borussia Dortmund: Kobel – Ryerson, Sule, Schlotterbeck, Bensebaini – Gross, Nmecha – Brandt, Sabitzer, Adeyemi – Guirassy
