Team News

Borussia Dortmund
Borussia M.Gladbach
  • Niko Kovac may rotate after the Barcelona game in midweek.
  • Nico Schlotterbeck has played his last football of the season after suffering a muscle tear.
  • Marcel Sabitzer is ruled out for several weeks with a knee injury, so the likes of Waldemar Anton, Carney Chukwuemeka or Salih Özcan might have to help out in midfield.
  • Nathan Ngoumou has played his last football of the season after suffering an Achilles injury, while Philipp Sander continues to fight illness.
  • Nico Elvedi and Rocco Reitz both have knocks, while Franck Honorat is struggling with a muscle injury.
  • The highly-rated 19-year-old Tiago Pereira Cardoso has seamlessly replaced Jonas Omlin who's nearing a return after problems with his adductors. First-choice Moritz Nicolas has undergone surgery on his adductors and will miss the rest of the season.

Prediction

  • The Battle of the Borussias - seventh plays eighth - with just a couple of points separating the two sides as the race for European spots hots up.
  • Gladbach had all week to prepare, while Dortmund exited the Champions League to Barcelona as expected on Tuesday.
  • Former Bayern boss Niko Kovac has overseen four wins, four defeats and a draw at Bayern since taking over as Dortmund head coach.
  • Five-time Bundesliga winners Gladbach finished a point clear of the drop last season, but have fared much better with 13 wins so far this term.
  • Dortmund have found the net in their last 32 home games against the Foals.
  • The reverse fixture ended in a 1-1 draw, but Dortmund can win this on home soil as they hunt down a Champions League qualification spot.
