Gladbach overturned their six-match Bundesliga losing streak with a narrow but significant win over Stuttgart last round. They built upon that by eliminating Karlsruher 2-0 from the DFB-Pokal.
Alexander Blessin’s men have now win back-to-back competitive games for the first time since November 2025.

Gladbach have seven players sidelined with injuries, including Hugo Bolin, Tim Kleindienst, Nicolas Kuhn and Enzo Leopold.
Ralf Kettemann’s newly-promoted Paderborn have been impressive for a side enjoying their first Bundesliga appearance side 2019/20.
They beat Hamburg 1-0 to claim their victory this season, having beaten Hoffenheim 3-1 last month.
However, their two-match unbeaten run came to an end midweek in the DFB-Pokal, as Stuttgart knocked them out via a narrow 1-0 scoreline

Whispers predicts: Borussia Monchengladbach 1-1 Paderborn
According to Bet365, over 2.5 total goals at 7/10 (1.70) offers modest value. Each of Gladbach’s last nine league games, and all of their seven this season, produced over 2.5 goals.
HT/FT – Gladbach/Draw at 1/1 (2.00) is a worthy bet. Paderborn are the only Bundesliga side yet to score in the first 15 minutes of either half this season – they are bound to make a slow start. Expect Gladbach to take a first-half lead.
Joe Scally has been instrumental for Gladbach this season despite their poor results. With three goals and one assist, Scally to score anytime at 2/1 (3.00) offers considerable value.
