''We’re going to give everything,'' Chaibi says ahead of Frankfurt's trip to Gladbach.
As Borussia Monchengladbach seek to halt their four-game winless streak at home, they face a determined Eintracht Frankfurt side eyeing a secure sixth-place finish, with both teams eager for victory in this critical Bundesliga clash at Borussia-Park.
Borussia Mönchengladbach
Borussia Monchengladbach are entering this game following a hard-fought 2-2 draw against SV Werder Bremen on the road. This result extended their winless run to four games [WLLDD]. Gladbach initially took the lead with an early goal from Robin Hack at the 8th minute. However, a brace from Nick Woltemade [45’, 65’] turned the game in Bremen’s favor.
A composed penalty finish by Florian Neuhaus in stoppage time [90’+1 P.] allowed Gladbach to salvage a point. Sitting in 13th place with 33 points [7W, 12D, & 13L], they are four points clear of Mainz 05, currently in the relegation play-off spot. The team is eager to return to winning ways as they welcome Frankfurt on Saturday.
Although their performance in the second half of the season has been less than stellar, with only 13 points from the last 15 games, they remain optimistic. Their decent attacking record, with 55 goals in 32 games, provides a confidence boost, knowing a win secures their spot in the top-flight for another season.
Coach Gerardo Seoane might opt for a 3—1—4—2 formation, potentially featuring Alassane Pléa [doubtful] alongside Robin Hack in attack. However, players Fukuda [ankle], Jantschke [groin], and Ranos [ankle] are confirmed absentees for this match.
Eintracht Frankfurt
Eintracht Frankfurt, currently on a two-game losing streak in the league [DLWLL], are eager to move past recent setbacks as they prepare for Saturday’s trip to Monchengladbach.
Despite suffering a heavy 5-1 loss to Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen at home, the Eagles hold on to sixth place with 45 points [11W, 12D, & 9L], staying four points ahead of seventh-placed SC Freiburg, who sit at 41 points.
Frankfurt boasts a strong head-to-head record against Monchengladbach, remaining unbeaten in their last five meetings [3W, 2D, & 0L], with wins in the previous two encounters. A victory on Saturday would secure a sixth-place finish and a potential UEFA Champions League spot.
"The whole team is aware of how important this match is. We’re going to give everything to reach our season target with three points," Farès Chaibi expressed before the game.
Coach Dino Toppmöller is expected to stick with the familiar 4-4-2 formation, featuring Omar Marmoush and Hugo Ekitike in attack. Donny van de Beek is doubtful, while Kalajdžić (knee) and Rode (knee) are confirmed absentees.
