Looking at all fixtures this season, Borussia Mönchengladbach stand at 4W 2D 4L from 10 Bundesliga matches — 1.40 PPG. Last five: L L W L W. They are averaging 2.10 goals per game — a high-scoring output that makes them a genuine attacking threat in any fixture. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings provides some defensive foundation.

This season is still relatively young for Borussia Mönchengladbach, so this record blends games from this season and last.
Borussia Mönchengladbach's home record at Stadion im BORUSSIA-PARK: 8W 0D 2L from 10 Bundesliga appearances (2.40 PPG).

Bayer Leverkusen's away record: 4W 2D 4L from 10 road trips in Bundesliga this season (1.40 PPG). Away from home they average 1.60 goals scored and 1.80 conceded per game.
The form figures are too closely matched to derive a directional pick: Borussia Mönchengladbach 1.40 PPG, Bayer Leverkusen 1.50 PPG. Look to other data sets to build the analysis.
H2H
The H2H landscape is flat: 2 previous encounters have yielded 0 wins for Borussia Mönchengladbach, 2 for Bayer Leverkusen and 0 draws. A neutral reading in isolation.
Goals have been a feature of this fixture. The last 2 meetings have averaged 3.5 per game — a rate that gives the Over 2.5 market a solid historical foundation. The most recent clash, on 15 Jan 2022, ended 1–2 with Bayer Leverkusen winning.
With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H-derived signal is in the goals market. At 3.5 goals per game historically, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle to extract from the head-to-head data.
In-Play Profile
Borussia Mönchengladbach in-play tendencies (49 games, 24 at home): they score before half-time in 92% of fixtures in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 83% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 50% of those occasions; they lead at the break 47% of the time; BTTS occurs in 71% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 75% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 49%.
Bayer Leverkusen in-play tendencies (49 games, 24 at away): they score before half-time in 83% of fixtures in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 91% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 64% of those occasions; BTTS occurs in 71% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 71% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 51%.
From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — Borussia Mönchengladbach 71% and Bayer Leverkusen 61% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. Over 2.5 goals is well-supported by both sides' in-play profiles (Borussia Mönchengladbach 65% | Bayer Leverkusen 69%).
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects Borussia Mönchengladbach 2.33 xG and Bayer Leverkusen 1.36 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Borussia Mönchengladbach attack 1.170 / defence 1.061 | Bayer Leverkusen attack 1.012 / defence 0.971. League average goals — home 2.050 / away 1.269. Data: 49 Borussia Mönchengladbach games / 49 Bayer Leverkusen games used (CurrentSeason).
Result probabilities: Borussia Mönchengladbach 59% | Draw 20% | Bayer Leverkusen 21%. Fair-value odds: Borussia Mönchengladbach 1.69 | Draw 5.00 | Bayer Leverkusen 4.76. The model has a clear lean to Borussia Mönchengladbach (59%) — a 38pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 71% | BTTS probability 67% | Total xG 3.69. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 71% — a total xG of 3.69 means the expected score alone exceeds the 2.5 threshold, making the Over not just likely but structurally supported by both sides' attack/defence profiles. BTTS Yes at 67% reflects that both xG figures (2.33 / 1.36) are above the threshold where scoring blanks become the primary outcome — both sides are projected to find the net.
Analysis Verdict
On the Poisson output, Borussia Mönchengladbach are the pick at 59% — clear model lean. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 20% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
Poisson projects 3.69 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 71% probability — reasonable conviction, supported by form averaging 3.7 goals per game.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 67%. Form rates corroborate: Borussia Mönchengladbach 70% | Bayer Leverkusen 50% BTTS from recent games.
