Team News

Borussia M.Gladbach
  • In the left-back position, Filip Daems is injured and will be replaced by Oscar Wendt.
  • Granit Xhaka will have to wait for his chance, with Thorben Marx and Havard Nordtveit in good form in the last few games.
  • It remains to be seen, if Juan Arango is fit enough to start after a long trip with his national team. He could be replaced by Peniel Mlapa.
  • Mike Hanke and Igor de Camargo compete for the spot alongside Patrick Hermann.
VfB Stuttgart
  • If Serdar Tasci does not recover in time, Maza will start at centre-back.
  • Ibrahima Traoré and Shinji Okazaki compete for the spot on the left wing.
  • Otherwise, manager Labbadia could field an unchanged team.

Prediction

  • With seven points from their last three games, Gladbach have finally found their form. They still have a lot of work to do and need to improve defensively again, but the team is better now than a few weeks ago.
  • Stuttgart lost their last game against Hannover and need to regain confidence now to avoid trouble again. They have some injury concerns and need to hope that everyone else stays fit now.
  • Expect this to be a close game with several chances for both sides.
