Union Berlin vs Borussia Monchengladbach prediction
The Bundesliga returns on Friday, 17 October 2025, with a late kick-off at 21:30 as 1. FC Union Berlin host Borussia Mönchengladbach at the An der Alten Försterei in Matchday 7. This top-flight fixture brings together two clubs with contrasting starts to the campaign: Union sit in 13th place with 7 points from six matches, while Mönchengladbach find themselves 17th with only 3 points. The stadium atmosphere at the Alte Försterei, always a factor, will be an influential element as Steffen Baumgart’s side look to consolidate a home performance that has been mixed so far. Eugen Polański’s Gladbach travel with limited confidence after a difficult start and a thin goal return.
Stay ahead of the game with our expert Bundesliga predictions – packed with insights, stats, and tips to help you make smarter bets week after week!
Main Tip: Both teams score? Yes
The Primary betting tip is that both teams will score. Union have shown the capability to find the net (8 goals so far this season) but have also conceded regularly (13 goals), and Gladbach — despite scoring only five times this campaign — possess attacking players capable of breaching Union’s defence. The competitive history between these sides and their recent fixtures indicate open phases in matches that often produce goals at both ends. This market offers value given the defensive frailties visible in both camps. Best available odd for YES: 1win at 1.65.
Tip 2. FC Union Berlin Win (DNB)
For the purposes of this analysis, our Second betting prediction concerns the match result (1X2). Given the balance of form, home advantage and recent performances in all competitions, our principal betting tip is a draw no bet win for the home side. This selection reflects Union’s greater consistency at the Alte Försterei, their superior points total and a squad that appears more settled under Steffen Baumgart. Best available odd for the home win (DNB): Paripesa at 1.35.

Tip 3: Over/Under: Over 2.5 goals
The third betting tip recommends the Over 2.5 goals market. Both teams have been involved in matches with multiple goals; Union have a number of high-scoring encounters and Gladbach have conceded a relatively high number of goals (12). The combination of Union’s attacking intent at home and Gladbach’s current defensive vulnerabilities suggests a reasonable probability for at least three goals in the match. Please note that specific best odds for the Over 2.5 market were not provided in the supplied data; bettors are advised to compare offers across reputable bookmakers to identify the most favourable price.
Statistics for 1. FC Union Berlin vs Borussia Mönchengladbach
1. FC Union Berlin team news!
Steffen Baumgart presides over a Union side that has registered 7 points from six Bundesliga matches, with a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats and a goal difference of 8:13. Their home record ahead of this game stands at one win, one draw and one defeat, showing a mixed set of results at the An der Alten Försterei. Union also come into the fixture off the back of a convincing 3:0 away victory in the cup against FSV 63 Luckenwalde, which should have boosted squad morale and match sharpness. Baumgart’s team will likely emphasise organisation at the back combined with efficient transitions to exploit Gladbach’s weaknesses.
Borussia Mönchengladbach team news!
Eugen Polański’s Borussia Mönchengladbach have had a difficult start to the season, accumulating just 3 points and occupying 17th position in the table. Their tally after six matches reads 0 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats, with a modest return of 5 goals scored and 12 conceded. Away form is particularly worrying — no wins, one draw and one defeat recorded on the road so far. Gladbach did register a home cup victory recently (3:2 vs. Preußen Münster), which may provide some short-term confidence, but Polański must address defensive lapses and a lack of offensive consistency if his team are to upset Union.
H2H statistics
The head-to-head record across the last five meetings is balanced: 1. FC Union Berlin have claimed 2 wins, Borussia Mönchengladbach have 2 wins, and there has been 1 draw. The most recent direct encounter ended as a 2:1 away win for Borussia Mönchengladbach. This evenly poised historical record underlines that while Union have home advantage and a slight edge in form, Gladbach remain capable of producing results against them.
Last results 1. FC Union Berlin
In their last five matches across all competitions, 1. FC Union Berlin have recorded 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats. Their current form is therefore mixed but contains positive indicators, such as their recent cup success and the ability to win decisive fixtures. This pattern suggests a team with potential to improve but with occasional inconsistencies to rectify.
Last results Borussia Mönchengladbach
Borussia Mönchengladbach’s last five matches across competitions reflect 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats. The single victory came in a cup fixture, and the sequence points to a side struggling to find league momentum. Their form indicates vulnerability, particularly in defence, and a need for greater attacking productivity on the road.

Conclusion
Taking into account current table positions, recent form and the match context at the An der Alten Försterei, 1. FC Union Berlin emerge as the favourites for Friday’s encounter. Union possess the marginally superior balance of results and the advantage of playing at home under Steffen Baumgart. Borussia Mönchengladbach’s early-season difficulties, particularly in away fixtures and their limited goal return, reduce their likelihood of securing a positive outcome. Consequently, the recommended match outcome is a home win for 1. FC Union Berlin (Tip 1). Complementary selections — both teams to score (Yes) and Over 2.5 goals — align with observable patterns of defensive exposure and intermittent attacking promise from both sides. Our succinct correct-score forecast is 1:0 in favour of Union. Punters should compare available odds, with the best quoted prices in the supplied data being 1xBet 2.35 for a Union win and Paripesa 1.65 for both teams to score (Yes).
