Borussia Monchengladbach failed to get the better of Wolfsburg last weekend, drawing 0-0 with the Wolves, and they worryingly failed to produce a single big chance in that match.
The club are now winless in five games, a period in which they were held to four stalemates, though their poor form is unlikely to cost them their top-flight status given they are six points ahead of the 16th-placed relegation playoff spot.
Gladbach's record against Dortmund has significant room for improvement, with the team having been defeated in five of their last six meetings with the visitors, including when they lost 2-0 in December 2025 at Signal Iduna Park.
The hosts used a three-man midfield against Wolfsburg, and if they do so again this weekend, the most likely trio to feature in the middle of the pitch are Rocco Reitz, Yannik Engelhardt and Kevin Stoger.
Dortmund can only guarantee second place if RB Leipzig drop points on Saturday against Bayer Leverkusen, but they would also have to win on Sunday to secure that outcome.
A second-placed finish is unlikely to satisfy fans considering it would be the eighth time in 14 campaigns that they would have finished behind the eventual champions, though three more wins for Niko Kovac would ensure the team ended with their best points return in seven seasons.
Black and Yellow will travel to Borussia Park having beaten Freiburg 4-0 on April 26, bouncing back from two consecutive league defeats, though those losses came against sixth-placed Leverkusen and fifth-placed Hoffenheim.
Considering central defenders Niklas Sule and Emre Can have both been ruled out, expect to see Luca Reggiani join Waldemar Anton and Nico Schlotterbeck in the backline.

Whispers predicts: Borussia Monchengladbach 1-2 Borussia Dortmund
It is difficult to look past the fact the two teams have had contrasting Bundesliga seasons, and it is no surprise to see the bookmakers back a Borussia Dortmund win at 1.91.
Given the visitors have frequently managed to score at least two goals, a sensible bet would be to back Borussia Dortmund to Score Over 1.5 Goals at 1.7.
If Gladbach manage to find their way onto the scoreboard, they are unlikely to net more than once, so backing Borussia Monchengladbach to Score Under 1.5 Goals makes sense, valued at 1.48.
Though the hosts have struggled for goals at home, Dortmund have proven to be defensively vulnerable recently, so there may be value in predicting Both Teams to Score at 1.55.
> Over 1.5 Goals for Dortmund | Likelihood: Probable
> Under 1.5 Goals for Gladbach | Likelihood: Possible
> Both Teams to Score | Likelihood: Probable
