Second-place chasing Stuttgart take on Gladbach in season finale.
In a thrilling season finale, Stuttgart aim to secure an unprecedented league position, as they welcome Borussia Mönchengladbach to the Mercedes-Benz Arena, with aspirations of overtaking Bayern Munich for a second-place finish and adding another remarkable chapter to their transformation from relegation battlers to potential runners-up.
VfB Stuttgart
Following back-to-back victories, Stuttgart are now assured of a minimum third-place finish after last Friday’s 1-0 win over Augsburg. They have 70 points before the weekend’s finale, where they hope to end the season with three wins in a row.
Last weekend’s narrow win was the club’s 22nd win of the Bundesliga season, setting a new club record with a record of 22 wins, 4 draws, and 7 losses. As they prepare for this weekend’s clash against Gladbach, Stuttgart aim to remain unbeaten in six home games against these visitors, having secured four wins and one draw in the past encounters.
With a place in the upcoming UEFA Champions League already guaranteed, Stuttgart could add further success by finishing ahead of 2nd-placed Bayern Munich, who are just two points ahead. Whether or not they clinch victory in Saturday’s finale, Stuttgart's notable performance this season stands in stark contrast to their previous term, where they finished in the relegation play-off spot.
Victory on Saturday would also secure Die Schwaben back-to-back home wins over their visitors following last season's 2-1 win. Finishing as runners-up might allow Sebastian Hoeneß’s side to participate in the season's Supercup, should Bayer Leverkusen win the DFB Cup final against Kaiserslautern.
A 3-5-2 formation with Deniz Undav and Serhou Guirassy leading the attack is expected for this pivotal match.
Borussia Mönchengladbach
Borussia Monchengladbach are currently positioned 13th in the Bundesliga table with 34 points, consisting of 7 wins, 13 draws, and 13 losses. They've experienced a string of three consecutive draws, including their recent 1-1 stalemate against Frankfurt, where they surrendered an early lead from Robin Hack's ninth-minute goal.
With their current tally, avoiding victory this weekend would mark Gladbach's weakest Bundesliga season in 15 years, reminiscent of their 31-point finish in 2008-09. Conversely, even a win would signify their poorest season in 13 years, comparing to the 36 points from 2010-11.
Under Gerardo Seoane, Gladbach finished 10th last season but can at best secure a 13th-place finish this year. The threat remains from 14th-placed Bochum, with 33 points, and 15th-placed Mainz, having 32 points.
They are likely to deploy a 3—5—2 formation, with Alassane Pléa and their top scorer, Robin Hack, leading the attack. Hack, aged 25, has scored 10 goals and provided two assists, contributing to 21% of the team's total of 34 goals this season.
