Gladbach – Union Berlin Prediction Bundesliga, Matchday 24 on Saturday, 28/02/2026 at 15:30 CET
We have compiled the best Bundesliga odds on this 24th matchday for you in just one overview table. But admittedly, a good Gladbach Union Berlin tip is not so easy to determine!
The victory over the Werskelf was the best performance of the Köpenick team in 2026, but still fierce resistance is to be expected on Saturday in NRW. Consequently, I prefer to opt for a draw bet, where you can at least win a nice 3.30 if you are successful.
Our internal calculation model sees both clubs playing out an almost identical offensive output anyway, so that even if one side should actually have the upper hand, a division of points is always within reach until the end.
In addition: League-wide, only Hamburger SV (8) has drawn more often than Gladbach (7) or Union Berlin (7).
I’m betting on a draw in my Gladbach Union Berlin prediction, but a look at the direct comparison statistically speaks more in favor of Köpenick – at least on paper.
FCU have won seven of the previous 13 Bundesliga duels with Mönchengladbach. Only against 1 FC Cologne did the “Irons” celebrate more victories in the top flight (8).
However, Gladbach remained unbeaten in the last two home games against Union (1 win, 1 draw) – and did not concede a single goal. It is precisely this small antithesis that makes the draw scenario I am aiming for quite plausible.
Gladbach – Union Berlin Prediction & Betting
If I only went by my gut feeling and didn’t shy away from any risk, then I would rely on the accumulator bet Under 2.5 Goals & Both Teams at odds of around 4.20.
Translated into German, this Gladbach Union Berlin prediction means nothing other than that the match will end 0-0 or 1-1, as have been the case with 3 of the last 11 Bundesliga matches together.
1st half: I would therefore also consider under 1.5 goals as a potential betting selection, but the odds of about 1.48 traded on the markets are fair at best and not exactly valuable.
But if you really want to grab valuable added value for sports betting fans on Saturday, then I recommend a freebet from the bookmakers we put through their paces.
What you need to know about Gladbach vs. Union Berlin betting
- While Gladbach’s defence is shaky with just one clean sheet in the last seven games, the Foals’ home games (average 3.09 goals) promise plenty of action.
- After seven games without a win in a row, Union Berlin under Steffen Baumgart celebrated an enormously important victory against Leverkusen last weekend; this three points catapulted the Berliners into the upper half of the table with an eight-point lead over the relegation zone.
- With 11 goals this season, Haris Tabakovic is the only Gladbach player with a double-digit goal haul and leads the club’s internal goalscoring market with a clear lead over Shuto Machino – he also scored the only goal for Borussia in the first leg (1-3).
- Diks factor in defence: While Gladbach’s goal threat is often in focus, Kevin Diks (previously FC Copenhagen), who was signed in the summer, has become the undisputed regular in defence – with a starting eleven probability of almost 100%, he forms the defensive anchor against the fast Berlin attack around Ansah and Ilic.
Gladbach – Union Berlin: AI Tip & Odds Analysis
Our internal data model confronted me with the selection Both teams to score in the course of its Gladbach Union Berlin AI prediction. If you put this recommendation into practice, you can expect odds of around 1.75.
Our digital football oracle substantiates this proposal with the fact that 14 of the Köpenick team’s 23 Bundesliga games so far this season have already met this condition.
Personally, I’m really not enthusiastic about this idea, especially since real value is simply not there. In my opinion, the game could certainly end 1:1, but in equal parts also 0:0.
If given the choice, I would ultimately even tend to go in the direction of a game with potentially lower-scoring results.
But I fully go along with the recommendation for 1st goal: Haris Tabakovic. Not because I’m convinced that he will score, but because the risk-return ratio is simply terrific with betting odds of around 5.50.
If anyone at Borussia scores any goals at all in the absence of Tim Kleindienst, it’s the Bosnian.
Haris Tabakovic has scored 42% of all goals for the Foals this Bundesliga season (11 of 26) – no other player has scored such a high proportion of his team’s goals.
A potential 1-0 lead for Borussia on Saturday would most likely be initiated or executed by him!
The best odds for Gladbach vs. Union Berlin
The false start of both teams in 2026 has not gone unnoticed. The German betting providers are positioning themselves accordingly cautiously – they expect a match at eye level, without a clear pacesetter.
A home win for Gladbach is recorded at 2.40. The Foals receive a slight leap of faith, especially because of the home advantage, but there is no trace of superiority.
The draw is 3.40. In view of the dip in form of both teams, a tough struggle with little risk and manageable returns seems quite realistic.
An away win for Köpenick, on the other hand, is 2.90. The Berliners are only marginally weaker – there is enough quality for an away coup from the point of view of the markets.
The Gladbach Union Berlin odds thus reflect an almost balanced trial of strength, in which details and form on the day are likely to be decisive.
Gladbach vs Union Berlin Match Analysis:
I think that both teams will neutralise each other as far as possible and we will see a 0-0 draw for a very long time. I don’t see Mönchengladbach or Union Berlin clearly gaining the upper hand here.
Gladbach has massive problems in attacking play this season, with just 26 goals from 23 games speaking for themselves, and the xG value of 28.89 is also one of the weakest in the league.
On the other hand, Union has the fourth-best xGA record, which basically speaks against a flood of big chances for the home side.
This indicates a lot of midfield skirmishing, long phases of possession without real penetration and an overall rather cautious approach.
Of course, there are arguments in favour of goals – such as Union’s 1.82 goals conceded on average away from home or the psychological push after the win against Leverkusen. But these are not decisive in my eyes.
Union will not want to run into the open knife away from home, while Gladbach simply lack the consistency offensively to create lasting pressure. I therefore expect a game that will be decided by patience, set-pieces or an individual mistake.
It should remain tough for a long time before a single moment possibly tips the game – but I don’t expect real offensive fireworks here.
Gladbach form check
Borussia Mönchengladbach are in a season that feels like a permanent rollercoaster ride.
After finishing tenth in the 2024/25 season, things got off to a bumpy start this time: Gladbach failed to score a goal of their own in the first three games, picking up just one point – the consequence was the end for Gerardo Seoane.
Eugen Polanski took over for him, but patience was also needed under the new man. It was only after six games that the first victory was achieved, against fellow rivals FC St. Pauli, of all people. That was such a chest solver.
Shortly afterwards, the derby victory against 1 FC Cologne followed – suddenly life was back in it, they remained unbeaten for five games in a row.
But the euphoria did not last long. There has been only one win since matchday 13, most recently a 2-1 defeat against SC Freiburg. Offensively, a lot of responsibility rests on Haris Tabakovic because Tim Kleindienst is missing due to injury.
Tabakovic has eleven Bundesliga goals and is currently tackling the attack almost alone, mostly together with Franck Honorat. If Kleindienst returns, it could be a really unpleasant attacking duo – but at the moment a lot depends on the Bosnian.
Union Berlin Form Check
Union Berlin caused a real surprise on matchday 23 and beat Bayer Leverkusen 1-0. It wasn’t a spectacle, rather a tough game with few chances – but that’s exactly what Union often like.
The moment of the game came after just under half an hour, when Rani Khedira was on the spot and slotted in ice-cold. After that, it was a matter of defending, fighting, throwing everything into it.
However, there was also a bit of luck. Shortly before the end, Stanley Nsoki got in with a very late tackle against Malik Tillman, well above the ankle – that could have ended really badly. After a VAR check, Nsoki was allowed to continue anyway, which caused quite a bit of discussion.
For Steffen Baumgart’s team, the victory was worth its weight in gold: the first after eight winless Bundesliga games. Union have thus moved into the upper half of the table and built up an eight-point cushion on the relegation zone.
In terms of personnel, there are a few question marks ahead of the game against Gladbach. Janik Haberer had to go off against Leverkusen with an injury, but could at least sit on the bench. Andrej Ilic is suspended, which is probably why Ilyas Ansah will be allowed to play at the front.
Behind them, two attacking midfielders should provide support. Union will again come through intensity – that’s rarely nice, but it can always be effective.
