Hamburger SV’s stronger home record meets Borussia Mönchengladbach’s vulnerable away record, with both teams also carrying significant pre-match absences.

Before kickoff

Can Borussia Mönchengladbach improve an away defence that has conceded 12 goals in four Bundesliga away games? That is the clearest pre-match question at Volksparkstadion, where Hamburger SV have won two of their three home league games. HSV have scored three goals and conceded six at home, while Gladbach have scored four away.

A five-point gap in the provisional table

The pre-match Bundesliga standings place Hamburger SV at #15 with 9 points from 8 games, including 3 wins, 0 draws and 5 losses, with a -12 goal difference. Borussia Mönchengladbach are #18 with 4 points from 8 games, including 1 win, 1 draw and 6 losses, with a -11 goal difference. HSV are therefore 5 points ahead of Gladbach.

Form and availability

The most-recent-first form samples each cover 8 matches. HSV’s sequence is Loss, Loss, Loss, Win, Win, Win, Loss, Loss. Gladbach’s is Loss, Loss, Loss, Loss, Loss, Loss, Win, Draw, giving the visitors a more difficult recent sample.

HSV list B. Nadir, N. Remberg, F. Vieira and M. Vuskovic as missing; M. Vuskovic’s listed reason is doping. N. Capaldo and Y. Poulsen are questionable. Gladbach list H. Bolin, N. Kuhn, E. Leopold and J. Leszczynski as missing. K. Diks, F. Fleck, F. Honorat, T. Kleindienst and M. Nicolas are questionable.

The match is scheduled for Friday, November 6, 2026, at 19:30 UTC. Can Gladbach’s away defence hold against an HSV side with two home wins this league season?
