Dortmund have 42 points in 29 games winning 12 matches, drawing six and losing 11. Their form in the last five league games has been decent winning two games, losing two and drawing one.

  Borussia Monchengladbach, on the other hand, have outdone their performances over the last three seasons since they are currently in 7th place with 44 points. Monchengladbach finished in 14th place with 34 points last season in 34 games, 10th place with 43 points in 34 games in the 2022-2023 season, and 10th place with 45 points in 34 games in the 2021-2022 season.

  As of now, they have already outdone themselves with five more games left. Monchengladbach have done decent in their last five games as well, winning two matches, drawing one, and losing two matches.

Serhou Guirassy (Borussia Dortmund)

The Guinea international has scored 15 goals and has four assists in 25 Bundesliga appearances and is one of the top scorers in the UCL despite being eliminated. Guirassy's statistics in the 2024-2025 UCL season are very impressive since he has scored 13 goals and has five assists in 14 appearances.

Guirassy even managed to make light work of FC Barcelona, which are one of the strongest teams this season, since he has scored five goals against them in three UCL games this season. This includes a stunning hat-trick on 16th April against Barcelona in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

Tim Kleindienst (Borussia Monchengladbach)

The German international is one of the best forwards on the side alongside Alassane Plea. Kleindienst has scored 15 goals and has six assists in 27 Bundesliga appearances.

This is a great improvement from his previous season tally of 12 goals and five assists in 33 appearances for Heidenheim in the Bundesliga. Although Kleindienst has not scored in the last two league games, he is still a big threat and a great forward for Monchengladbach.

Borussia Dortmund vs Borussia Monchengladbach Prediction

Although Monchengladbach have improved themselves this season but taking on a team with the calibre of Dortmund is a very difficult task.

Borussia Dortmund are likely to get a comfortable win over Borussia Monchengladbach.

Predicted Score: Borussia Dortmund 3-1 Borussia Monchengladbach
