After the international break, “Borussia” played two matches in the Bundesliga, suffering a crushing 0-3 defeat to “Freiburg” and then confidently defeating “Wolfsburg” with a score of 3-1. Prior to the start of the current round, “Gladbach” occupies the 11th position in the German league table, with 31 points, which is 11 points less than “Eintracht” in the Europa League zone. Their home statistics rank 11th in the division, with +5=4-5, and a goal difference of 25:23. On Saturday, “The Foals” will be without Rahn, Kone, and Jantschke.
In the injury list for “Die Schwarzgelben” are Bamba, Bensebaini, and Malen, and in their last two matches, “Dortmund” lost first to “Stuttgart” in the Bundesliga, and then to “Atletico” in Madrid in the Champions League. Just a few days after our match, “Die Schwarzgelben” will play the return leg against “Los Colchoneros”, meaning the future guests have to stretch themselves thin on two fronts. The tournament position requires “Borussia Dortmund” to play for a win in Gladbach since “Borussia Monchengladbach” trails “Leipzig” in goal difference, who currently occupies the fourth place in the Bundesliga. The away statistics for “Borussia Dortmund” rank second in the division, with +7=6-1, and a goal difference of 28:13.
