Dortmund on the verge of 10-game unbeaten away run.
After ending their winless streak, Borussia Mönchengladbach hosts Borussia Dortmund this Saturday in a high-stakes Bundesliga clash, with both teams eager to secure crucial points and momentum.
Borussia Mönchengladbach
Borussia Mönchengladbach ended their four-game winless streak with a 3-1 win over Wolfsburg last weekend. They currently sit in 11th place on the Bundesliga table with 31 points accumulated over the season (7 wins, 10 draws, and 11 losses). They aim for back-to-back victories, a feat they haven't achieved this season.
The team has a goal ratio of 1.75 goals per game, having scored 49 goals in 28 matches. Despite losing 14 of their last 17 Bundesliga matches against Borussia Dortmund, Gladbach have won their last three home games against the visitors, and are eager to secure a fourth consecutive home win.
A win here would give Gladbach consecutive Bundesliga victories for the first time this season. If 10th-placed Heidenheim fails against Bochum, Die Fohlen could leapfrog them in the standings.
Coach Gerardo Seoane is expected to deploy a familiar 4-3-3 formation, with Alassane Pléa, Franck Honorat, and Ngoumou leading the attack. However, Koné (thigh) and Ranos (ankle) are ruled out, while Jantschke (adductor), Kramer (ill), and Neuhaus (achilles) are doubtful for this weekend's clash.
Borussia Dortmund
Dortmund will be looking to put aside their 2-1 defeat to Atletico Madrid in Wednesday’s UEFA Champions League quarter-final first-leg clash. "It remains open. We envisaged a very different start to the game. We have a lot of lads with us who are playing in the Champions League quarterfinals for the first time,'' Edin Terzić said following the loss.
Back in the Bundesliga, Dortmund are in 5th place on the table with 53 points [15W, 8D, & 5L], having seen a four-game winning run come to an end [WWWWL]. The Black & Yellows suffered a 1-0 loss to Stuttgart last weekend and are now hoping to bounce back to winning ways.
With 53 points after 28 matches, Dortmund are playing their weakest Bundesliga season since 2020/21, when they had just 46 points. Die Schwarzgelben, who have just as many points as 4th-place Leipzig, will be hoping Wolfsburg pick up at least a point when they take on the Red Bulls this weekend.
Furthermore, having remained unbeaten in nine Bundesliga away matches [5W, 4D, 0L], Die Schwarzgelben are hoping to go 10 games unbeaten on the road. A 4—2—3—1 with Niclas Füllkrug in attack is expected for the weekend’s game. Donyell Malen [thigh] is in doubt for this fixture.
