Team News

Borussia M.Gladbach
Leverkusen
  • Marvin Friedrich has joined from Union Berlin to bolster defence and may go straight into the side here.
  • Denis Zakaria, Keanan Bennetts, Mamadou Doucoure and Joe Scally could all return after COVID. The former is being linked with a January move to Manchester United.
  • Ramy Bensebaini is away at the Africa Nations Cup with Algeria.
  • Jonas Hofmann is nearing a return from a knee op.
  • Niklas Lomb and Paulinho both have COVID. Charles Aranguiz is nearing a return from a calf injury, but Daley Sinkgraven has suffered a muscle tear.
  • Defenders Odilon Kossounou and Edmond Tapsoba are both away on Africa Cup of Nations duty as well.
  • Austrian Julian Baumgartlinger nears a return from a knee injury and Mitchel Bakker is back from an ankle injury.

Prediction

  • Gladbach halted an alarming slide down the table with a 2-1 win against an under-strength Bayern last time out.
  • Bayer Leverkusen's last four games have seen 18 goals in total, so we can expect goals at both ends.
  • Flattering to deceive as usual this season, Leverkusen can at least rely on prolific goalscorer Patrik Schick who has scored 17 goals this season.
  • Leverkusen have won their last four against Gladbach but may have to settle for a draw here.
