"Starting with the hosts, while Borussia Monchengladbach might have opened the New Year with a thumping 4-0 victory against Augsburg, it appears that was just a minor boost for Eugen Polanski's men. Last seen settling for a 1-1 stalemate against Werder Bremen, the Foals almost find themselves sat in Bundesliga limbo. Putting in a nightmare performance on January 25th as they slumped to a 3-0 drumming at the hands of Stuttgart,"
"Likewise, both dealing with respective knee injuries, the duo of Robin Hack and Tim Kleindienst will miss out on Saturday evening. Recently returning from an ankle issue, former Union Berlin defender Marvin Friedrich could get some more minutes under his belt. Recording a 10th Bundesliga strike of the season away at Werder Bremen last weekend, Hoffenheim loanee Haris Tabakovic will lead the line here."
Bayer Leverkusen travel to North Rhine-Westphalia as favorites following a strong Bundesliga run under Kasper Hjulmand. Borussia Monchengladbach have shown inconsistent form: a 4-0 win over Augsburg was followed by a 1-1 draw with Werder Bremen, a 3-0 loss to Stuttgart, and a 2-0 defeat to Borussia Dortmund. Gladbach have only one win in their last seven Bundesliga matches and have not beaten Leverkusen in 12 consecutive meetings since November 2019. Giovanni Reyna remains sidelined with a muscle issue, Robin Hack and Tim Kleindienst are out with knee injuries, while Marvin Friedrich and Haris Tabakovic are available.
