Team News

Borussia M.Gladbach
Stuttgart
  • Back-up keeper Jan Olschowsky is nearing a return from a knee injury, and barring late injuries head coach Gerardo Seoane has pretty much a full-strength squad at his disposal.
  • Dan-Axel Zagadou is on the verge of a comeback from an ACL injury, while Nikolas Nartey is on his way back from a knee injury.
  • New signing Ameen Al-Dakhil has a hip injury, while defenders Anthony Rouault and Leonidas Stergiou are both struggling with knocks as well.

Prediction

  • VfB Stuttgart, under the tutelage of brilliant coach Sebastian Hoeness, will have one eye on their mouthwatering Champions League opener against Real Madrid.
  • Gladbach simply must improve after languishing in the bottom half for much of last season, finishing just a point from the drop zone.
  • In their opener, "The Foals" showed great resolve to fight back from 0-2, before slipping to a last-gasp Rhein derby defeat against champions Leverkusen conceding in the 100th minute.
  • Back Gladbach to edge this one with goals at both ends.
