✍️ Match Preview
Match Analysis
VfB Stuttgart host Borussia Mönchengladbach at MHPArena in Bundesliga (matchday 20). Kick-off is Saturday 1 February 2025 at 14:30 UK time.
Form Analysis
Looking at their last 10 matches, VfB Stuttgart stand at 6W 1D 3L — 1.90 PPG. Last five: L W W W L. Offensively they are averaging 1.90 goals per game, with 1.20 conceded. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%).
VfB Stuttgart's home record over their last 10 home games: 6W 2D 2L (2.00 PPG). They are averaging 2.40 goals per home game — a prolific scoring rate in front of their own fans. Both teams have scored in 70% of their home games — an outstanding BTTS rate that is a key data point for this fixture.
Across their last 10 games, Borussia Mönchengladbach have recorded 4W 2D 4L — 1.40 PPG. Last five: W L L L W. They are scoring at 1.50 per game and conceding 1.50. 3 clean sheets from 10 outings (30%). Both teams have scored in 60% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.
On the road, Borussia Mönchengladbach have gone 2W 2D 6L in their last 10 away fixtures (0.80 PPG). Away from home they average 0.90 goals scored and 2.10 conceded per game. BTTS has landed in 60% of their away games — meaningful support for the Yes angle in this specific context. Their away PPG of 0.80 is notably below their overall 1.40 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.
VfB Stuttgart are in the better shape of the two on recent form — 0.50 PPG ahead (1.90 vs 1.40). That form margin is the baseline of a sensible selection even before other signals are layered in.
The BTTS market is worth targeting here. Both teams have scored in 70% of VfB Stuttgart's games and 60% of Borussia Mönchengladbach's (from VfB Stuttgart's last 10 home games and Borussia Mönchengladbach's last 10 away games) — both sides above the 60% threshold gives BTTS Yes firm statistical grounding.
H2H Record
There is little to separate the sides in our head-to-head data. From 6 H2H matches, VfB Stuttgart have won 4, Borussia Mönchengladbach 2, with 0 draws — a balanced record that offers no clear steer on its own.
These two sides have produced goals at a healthy rate, averaging 4.0 per game across the 6 H2H matches we hold. That scoring profile supports the Over 2.5 angle. The most recent of those, on 14 Sep 2024, ended VfB Stuttgart 3–1 Borussia Mönchengladbach — a VfB Stuttgart win.
With the win record balanced, the strongest H2H signal is in the goals market — at 4.0 goals per game, Over 2.5 is the cleaner angle from the head-to-head data.
In-Play Profile
VfB Stuttgart in-play tendencies (last 53 games, 26 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 92% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 92% of the time; two or more arrive in the second half on 58% of those occasions; they lead at the break 45% of the time; of the 11 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 36%; BTTS occurs in 65% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 73% of games (home games); Over 3.5 in 51%.
Borussia Mönchengladbach in-play tendencies (last 53 games, 26 of them away): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 85% of their matches in away games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 64% of the time; of the 14 games they led at half-time, they failed to win 36%; BTTS occurs in 77% of their matches (away games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 69% of games (away games); Over 3.5 in 49%.
From a combined perspective, both sides have high BTTS rates — VfB Stuttgart 58% and Borussia Mönchengladbach 70% — which reinforces the BTTS Yes angle from in-play data. Over 2.5 goals is well-supported by both sides' in-play profiles (VfB Stuttgart 72% | Borussia Mönchengladbach 70%). Note also that Borussia Mönchengladbach surrender HT leads in 36% of cases while VfB Stuttgart recover from half-time deficits to draw or win 36% of the time — a dynamic that could influence in-play positioning.
Poisson Model
The Poisson distribution model projects VfB Stuttgart 2.36 xG and Borussia Mönchengladbach 1.10 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: VfB Stuttgart attack 1.140 / defence 0.935 | Borussia Mönchengladbach attack 0.840 / defence 1.139. League average goals — home 1.817 / away 1.405. Data: built from VfB Stuttgart's last 53 games and Borussia Mönchengladbach's last 53.
Result probabilities: VfB Stuttgart 65% | Draw 18% | Borussia Mönchengladbach 16%. Fair-value odds: VfB Stuttgart 1.53 | Draw 5.43 | Borussia Mönchengladbach 6.14. The model has a clear lean to VfB Stuttgart (65%) — a 47pp gap over the next-most-likely outcome reflects a meaningful statistical advantage.
Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 67% | BTTS Yes probability 61% | Total xG 3.46. Over 2.5 is the model's clear signal at 67% — a total xG of 3.46 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 61% — both xG figures (2.36 / 1.10) are high enough that each side is projected to find the net.
Analysis Verdict
On the Poisson output, VfB Stuttgart are the pick at 65% — clear model lean. Recent form corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. Draw No Bet is worth pricing alongside the outright: 18% draw probability makes the stalemate a live outcome even at this conviction level.
Poisson projects 3.46 total expected goals, pointing to Over 2.5 at 67% probability — strong conviction, supported by recent form (VfB Stuttgart's last 10 home games and Borussia Mönchengladbach's last 10 away games) averaging 3.4 goals per game and the H2H data averaging 4.0 goals per game across 6 H2H matches.
The Poisson model's BTTS call is Yes at 61%. Form rates corroborate — both teams scored in: VfB Stuttgart 70% (last 10 home games) | Borussia Mönchengladbach 60% (last 10 away games).

📝 Match Report
How It Unfolded
Borussia Mönchengladbach beat VfB Stuttgart 1-2 at MHPArena, Regular Season - 20, in the Bundesliga. That is the final score; the rest of this report grades it against what the data forecast beforehand.
The Model vs The Result
The Poisson model went into this projecting VfB Stuttgart 2.36 xG and Borussia Mönchengladbach 1.10 xG, a combined 3.46. The scoreboard read 1-2 for 3 actual goals. VfB Stuttgart fell 1.4 short of their projected output. Borussia Mönchengladbach outscored their 1.10 projection by 0.9. Those figures were built on strength ratings of VfB Stuttgart attack 1.14 / defence 0.94 against Borussia Mönchengladbach attack 0.84 / defence 1.14, drawn from 53/53 games (CurrentSeason).
On the result, the model split it VfB Stuttgart 65% | Draw 18% | Borussia Mönchengladbach 16%, with VfB Stuttgart to win its most likely call at 65%. Instead the game produced a Borussia Mönchengladbach win, an outcome the model had rated at just 16% — a clear break from expectation and a genuine upset by the numbers.
Goals & Markets
The model rated Over 2.5 goals at 67%. The game delivered 3, so it went over — the model's lean was correct. Over 1.5 had been 86% and landed. Over 3.5 was 46% and did not. On both teams to score, the model sat at 61% and the match saw both sides score — another call in the model's favour. Historically the two sides average 71% Over 2.5 across their same-competition games (VfB Stuttgart 72%, Borussia Mönchengladbach 70%), a base rate that agreed with today's over. Their combined BTTS history runs at 64%, which matched the both-scored outcome.
Trading Patterns vs Reality
VfB Stuttgart's trading profile (53 games, 26 home) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 58% of their matches — today it did; they keep a clean sheet 30% of the time, and conceded here.
Borussia Mönchengladbach's trading profile (53 games, 26 away) set some clear expectations: BTTS lands in 70% of their matches — today it did.
Form vs Result
On form, VfB Stuttgart arrived the stronger side — 1.98 PPG against 1.15. Form was overturned, with Borussia Mönchengladbach winning despite arriving in poorer recent shape. VfB Stuttgart (home/away splits) managed 1 against a 2.65 scoring average — below par going forward and shipped 2 against a 1.08 concession average — a leakier day than usual. Borussia Mönchengladbach (home/away splits) conceded 1 against a 2.23 average — tighter than their form line.
Verdict
Grading the result against the stored data, 2 of 4 pre-match signals came in: result (miss), Over 2.5 (hit), BTTS (hit), form (miss). A mixed scorecard — the data caught the broad shape of the game but not every market.
