Borussia Dortmund head into this derby clash sitting third in the Bundesliga with 29 points, level with RB Leipzig but trailing on goal difference. They also hold a three-point cushion over fourth place, making consistency crucial as the season enters a decisive phase.
Despite their strong league position, Dortmund have struggled to fully convince in recent weeks. A 1-1 draw away at Freiburg last matchday followed a 2-2 Champions League draw against Bodø/Glimt, extending their run to just three wins in their last nine matches across all competitions. While they remain difficult to beat, converting draws into victories has been an issue.
That said, Dortmund’s home form continues to be a major strength. They are unbeaten at Signal Iduna Park in the Bundesliga, recording four wins and two draws, and have lost just once in the league all season. A derby win here could be exactly what Edin Terzić’s side needs to reignite momentum.

Borussia Mönchengladbach come into this fixture placed 11th in the table with 16 points, five clear of the relegation zone but only two points off eighth place. While their league position suggests mid-table obscurity, recent form tells a more competitive story.
Their 3-1 home defeat to Wolfsburg last matchday marked just their first league loss in six matches (W4, D1). Crucially, three of those four wins came away from home, highlighting Mönchengladbach’s ability to frustrate teams on their travels.
Even more impressive is the fact that those three away victories were achieved without conceding a goal, suggesting a defensive resilience that could pose problems for Dortmund. While consistency remains an issue, Die Fohlen are more than capable of making this derby uncomfortable.
MatchPlug Prediction for Borussia Dortmund vs Borussia Mönchengladbach
This Borussen derby arrives with both teams facing contrasting pressures. Dortmund are pushing to cement their place in the top three and stay within touching distance of the title race, while Mönchengladbach are aiming to climb into the top half and continue their impressive away run.
The hosts boast an unbeaten seven-game league run and remain formidable at home, but Mönchengladbach’s recent away performances suggest they are unlikely to go down quietly. Given Dortmund’s tendency to concede despite controlling matches, a clean sheet may be a tall order.
Expect goals at both ends, with Dortmund’s quality ultimately proving decisive in front of their home crowd.
