Borussia Monchengladbach — Karlsruher SC : Match Preview and Prediction for October 28,2025

Mönchengladbach’s Bundesliga Woes

Eugen Polanski’s squad continues its challenging run in the Bundesliga, currently holding the unfortunate distinction of being the only team without a victory this season after eight league encounters. The decision to replace Gerardo Seoane with Polanski early in the season has yet to bring any positive turnaround, suggesting that another change in management could be on the horizon if results do not improve.

Impact of Recent Defeat

In their most recent fixture, the “Foals” suffered a comprehensive 0-3 defeat at home against Bayern Munich. However, this result was significantly influenced by an early red card for Gladbach, which forced them into a defensive setup. Despite their efforts to “park the bus,” they could only withstand Bayern’s pressure for approximately an hour before their defense ultimately succumbed. The game’s unfolding circumstances clearly did not play to Borussia’s advantage.

Current Form and Unavailable Players

As the bottom-ranked team in the Bundesliga, Borussia Mönchengladbach has registered only one draw and three losses in their last four matches, highlighting a severe dip in performance and consistency. For the upcoming clash against Karlsruher SC, they will be without the services of Hack, Ngoumou, Kleindienst, Castropp, and Chiarodia. The absence of key players like Hack and Kleindienst, in particular, could further hinder the hosts’ chances of securing a much-needed win.

Karlsruher SC’s Consistent Ambitions

Karlsruher SC has been absent from the top flight of German football for more than 15 years. Presently, the “Eurofighters” are firmly established as a mid-table side in the 2. Bundesliga, often demonstrating flashes of brilliance but struggling with the consistency required to challenge for promotion. Nevertheless, they possess the ability to prepare thoroughly and perform strongly in significant matches.

Recent Strong Performance and Momentum

Ahead of their visit to Mönchengladbach, Christian Eichner’s squad delivered an impressive 4-1 away victory against Greuther Fürth, a result that propelled them into the top 7 of the 2. Bundesliga standings. Given the tight competition in the league, Karlsruher SC remains a contender for promotion and currently appears far more stable in their performances compared to Borussia. For their encounter with the “Dark Whites,” Jung, Ben Farhat, Franke, and Sichlaroglu are expected to miss out.
