Most recent H2Hs: Freiburg dominance
Freiburg have not been beaten in their last nine meetings with Sunday's visitors, and they managed to get the better of their opponents four times in that period, including in three of their four most recent encounters.
Gladbach earned a point when the sides clashed in the Bundesliga in October 2025, drawing 0-0 at home in an uninspiring match of football.

Freiburg preview: A poor stretch of form
Freiburg suffered a 3-0 loss against Hoffenheim on February 14, their third defeat in five games, and they have only won two of their past six in the Bundesliga.
Philipp Lienhart will play no part in Sunday's match due to ongoing abdominal problems, and the centre-back's void may have to be filled by Matthias Ginter and Bruno Ogbus.
Predicted lineup: Atubolu (GK), Treu, Ginter, Ogbus, Gunter, Eggestein, Osterhage; Beste, Suzuki, Grifo & Matanovic
Last five results:
- 14/02/26: Hoffenheim 3-0 Freiburg (Bundesliga)
- 10/02/26: Hertha Berlin 1-1 Freiburg (p) (DFB-Pokal)
- 07/02/26: Freiburg 1-0 Werder Bremen (Bundesliga)
- 01/02/26: Stuttgart 1-0 Freiburg (Bundesliga)
- 29/01/26: Lille 1-0 Freiburg (Europa League)
Borussia Monchengladbach preview: Drifting towards the drop
Gladbach are only three points above 16th-placed Werder Bremen following their 3-0 defeat at the hands of Eintracht Frankfurt on Valentine's Day, and that was the sixth consecutive match that they failed to win.
Key midfielder Rocco Reitz is suspended, and the visitors will no doubt miss his defensive presence, so Yannik Engelhardt will have to be at the top of his game at Europa Park Stadion.
Predicted lineup: Nicolas (GK), Scally, Elvedi, Diks, Ullrich, Castrop, Engelhardt, Stoger, Honorat, Tabakovic & Bolin
Last five results:
- 14/02/26: Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0 Borussia Monchengladbach (Bundesliga)
- 07/02/26: Borussia Monchengladbach 1-0 Bayer Leverkusen (Bundesliga)
- 31/01/26: Werder Bremen 1-1 Borussia Monchengladbach (Bundesliga)
- 25/01/26: Borussia Monchengladbach 0-3 Stuttgart (Bundesliga)
- 17/01/26: Hamburger SV 0-0 Borussia Monchengladbach (Bundesliga)
Player to watch: Haris Tabakovic
If Gladbach are to take anything from their clash with Freiburg, they will need striker Haris Tabakovic to rediscover his goalscoring form.

The forward has only netted once in his last six games for the club, whereas he has scored eight times in his prior 10 matches for the visitors, while also providing three assists.
