After a narrow defeat in the UEFA Super Cup to PSG, Aston Villa turn their attention to a pre-season friendly, as they continue to prepare for the Premier League 2026-27. The English side travel to Germany to play Bundesliga club Borussia Monchengladbach, with the match scheduled for August 15. The Ista-Borussia Park will host the Monchengladbach vs Aston Villa pre-season contest.
The home side has been in sublime form and enters the match unbeaten under manager Eugen Polanski. Meanwhile, Aston Villa look to bounce back after a string of poor results. Their head coach Unai Emery also has some of his first-team players unavailable due to fitness concerns.
Borussia Monchengladbach head into their final pre-season fixture with plenty of confidence after an unbeaten summer under Eugen Polanski. However, injuries have weakened their defensive options, with Jens Castrop ruled out for several months following shoulder surgery. Yukhym Konoplya and Fabio Chiarodia are also unavailable, while Thomas Cvancara is unlikely to feature. Tim Kleindienst could therefore carry the main attacking responsibility.
For Aston Villa, teenage striker Brian Madjo, who scored against PSG, sustained an injury and is expected to remain sidelined until September. Joao Gomes is also unavailable, while Amadou Onana continues his long-term recovery. Leon Bailey and Johan Manzambi are not yet ready.
Gladbach have won all seven of their pre-season matches, including an 8-0 triumph over SSVg Velbert and a 4-1 victory against Hoffenheim. Villa, meanwhile, have lost four of their last seven games, including defeats to Porto, Real Sociedad and Bayern Munich.
