Demirovic can prove to be Stuttgart’s “Messiah” against Borussia Monchengladbach

VfB Stuttgart will hope for a change of fate against visitors Borussia Mönchengladbach in their upcoming fixture in the Bundesliga. Stuttgart started their 2025-26 season in the German league on a sour note, losing their opening game against Union Berlin. Ilyas Ansah’s brace helped the Berlin-based side seal the deal at 2-1 at the end of the stipulated time.

Tiago Tomas’s cheeky goal in the penultimate hours of the game for Stuttgart did restore hopes, but it was too little too late. Ironically, their upcoming opponents, Borussia Monchengladbach, also failed to secure a win in their first match. Their opener was a stalemate against Hamburger SV.

Needless to say that under the present circumstances, both teams would now look to get their first victory in this year’s campaign. The season has just opened, and a few victories back-to-back can do miracles for both clubs. As such, here’s a look at how the clubs are looking ahead of their fated encounter.

Kick-off:

Players to Watch

Ermedin Demirovic (Vfb Stuttgart)

Erdemin Demirovic is among the goals for Stuttgart. The Bosnian international knows how to find himself in the right place at the right time, and his two goals against Eintracht Braunschweig bear testament to that. While the first one was a well-placed header beating his marker, the second also saw him leaving his defender stranded as he tapped in to give his side a 2-1 lead in the game.

Before joining Stuttgart, Demirovic also played for SC Freiburg and FC Augsburg. The Monchengladbach defense will have to monitor him thoroughly if they have to avoid damage.

Robin Hack (Borussia Monchengladbach)

Robin Hack was the hero of Monchengladbach’s last match against Atlas Delmenhorst in the DFB Pokal. His two goals against Atlas Delmenhorst proved to be a game-changer as “The Prussians” won the game (2-3) on their adversary’s ground.

Hack, who has been a regular figure in the Bundesliga circuit, might have found his true calling at Monchengladbach as he seems set on course to have a defining moment in his career at the North Rhine-Westphalia club. In his 69 appearances for Monchengladbach, he has scored 19 goals and made 11 assists
