Team News

Wolfsburg
  • Jan Polak is injured. Chris could replace him in defensive midfield again.
  • Patrick Helmes is back with the first team after his transfer to Frankfurt fell through during the week. It remains to be seen if he will be part of the squad already.
  • Manager Magath could field an unchanged team.
Borussia M.Gladbach
  • Manager Favre will most likely field an unchanged team again.
  • New signing Alexander Ring, who joined the club from HJK in January, could make his debut in midfield, probably coming off the bench, though.

Prediction

  • After two wins in a row, Wolfsburg lost at Bayern last weekend, where they defended well for most of the game. The new signings had further time to adapt to manager Magath's system and the team seems to be on it's way to finally finding some kind of consistency again.
  • Gladbach are in great form at the moment, after two impressive wins against Bayern and Stuttgart. They are only one point behind the front runners and their strong away form could help them to stay up there for some time.
  • Expect both teams to be patient and wait for their chances on the break. Gladbach should be slight favourites to win.
  • PREDICTION: Gladbach win 1-0
