The curtain falls on the 2025-26 Bundesliga campaign at Borussia-Park on Saturday, when Borussia Monchengladbach host Hoffenheim on the final day of the season. While the hosts are able to approach the weekend encounter with a sense of freedom, having already confirmed safety, the visitors have much riding on Saturday’s fixture as it determines whether or not Christian Ilzer’s men will be playing UEFA Champions League football next season.
Borussia Monchengladbach are set to finish in the bottom half of the Bundesliga standings for a fifth consecutive campaign, although four wins since the turn of the year suggest their road to revival remains a long one.
Thanks for the submission!
Eugen Polanski’s men suffered a comprehensive 3-1 defeat to Augsburg last time out, extending their barren run at the WWK Arena to six games. However, Monchengladbach fans had something to cheer for in the closing stages as Giovanni Reyna netted his first goal for the club following his move from Borussia Dortmund last summer.
Hoffenheim entered February comfortably sitting in third place before a difficult run of results derailed their hunt for UEFA Champions League football.
However, Die Kraichgauer have recently rediscovered their mojo, with Bazoumana Touré’s first-half strike proving sufficient to seal a 1-0 victory over 10-man Werder Bremen last weekend, handing Hoffenheim their third win in four games as they climbed up to fifth.
The visitors must win on Saturday if they are to pip Stuttgart to the final Champions League qualification spot, although they will also need the Reds to drop points at Eintracht Frankfurt.
