2025-05-16 | Pre-game insights

On May 17, 2025, Borussia Monchengladbach will face VfL Wolfsburg at Borussia-Park in a highly anticipated German Bundesliga match. Despite recent struggles, with key losses against Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, AI predicts a win for the home side, assigning them a 49.9% win probability. Although their team rates are similar (0.574 and 0.589 respectively), the prediction leans towards Monchengladbach.
