The full Borussia Mönchengladbach vs SC Paderborn 07 record →
Two sides the ratings cannot separate
Borussia Mönchengladbach carry a model rating of 6.67 against 6.7 for SC Paderborn 07. The scale is anchored so that an average side in one of Europe's big five leagues sits at 6.85, and it is adjusted for the strength of each team's league, so the two numbers are comparable even across borders.
A gap that small is inside the noise of the rating itself — treat the two as level.
What the model expects
Under the hood the model expects 1.42 goals for Borussia Mönchengladbach and 1.21 for SC Paderborn 07. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.
Borussia Mönchengladbach rate 0.83 in attack and 1.20 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; SC Paderborn 07 rate 0.65 and 0.93.
Where the model differs from the table
The table and the model disagree here: the standings favour SC Paderborn 07, while our numbers lean the other way. The model weights recent expected goals rather than results already banked, so it moves before the table does.

Goals scored and conceded, by minute
All Bundesliga matches this season: Borussia Mönchengladbach 5, SC Paderborn 07 6.
SC Paderborn 07 score most often in the 16–30 minute window (3 goals); Borussia Mönchengladbach have let in 6 there.
Each cell counts the league goals that went in during that 15-minute window. Each side's goals sit above the goals its opponent has let in over the same minutes; the darker the cell, the more goals in that window. Stoppage time counts in the last window of its half. Source: API-Football season statistics, refreshed after each league match; own goals are not always counted on the same side as in the table, so a row can be a goal off it. Context, not a prediction.
