Borussia Moenchengladbach vs Valencia Betting Tips & Match Predictions

The home team is one of the favorites for this match, but I don’t think they’ll win it so easily against this away side, which remains one of the top teams in Europe. Even though the away team has been struggling for a while, they are still a talented squad and shouldn't be underestimated.

On August 2, 2025, Borussia Mönchengladbach faces Valencia CF in a friendly at Borussia-Park, celebrating Gladbach’s 125th anniversary. Gladbach, under Gerardo Seoane, showed mixed preseason form, with wins over Erzgebirge Aue (3-1) and Metalist 1925 Kharkiv (4-0) but a 2-1 loss to Nürnberg. Tim Kleindienst’s 8 goals and 4 assists in the 2024/25 Bundesliga highlight their attacking threat. Valencia, led by Carlos Corberán, struggles after losing key players like Giorgi Mamardashvili and Cristhian Mosquera, with a 1-0-2 preseason record (win vs. Getafe, draws vs. Castellón, Leganés). Their 1.19 goals per game in La Liga and poor away form (no wins in 8) weaken their prospects. H2H favors Gladbach (4-2 win in 2008). Gladbach’s home strength and Valencia’s depleted squad make the double chance (Gladbach or Draw) at 1.35 odds a solid bet.

With both teams fielding full-strength squads and attacking-friendly formations (Gladbach’s 4-2-3-1 vs Valencia’s 4-4-2), this friendly at BORUSSIA-PARK could deliver plenty of goalmouth action. Gladbach are in sharp form (W4 D0 L1), having just beaten Nürnberg 2-0, while Valencia are still seeking rhythm after drawing 1-1 with Marseille and going winless in their last five (D2 L3). Club friendlies often bring open play and relaxed defending, and with Gladbach averaging 1.5 goals/game and Valencia prone to lapses, this match leans toward a high total.
