Team News

Bochum
Borussia M.Gladbach
  • Key defender Ivan Ordets is ruled out for several weeks with a shoulder injury, while Bernardo is also struggling with an Achilles injury. Dani de Wit has served a suspension from his time in the Netherlands and could make a home debut.
  • Mohammed Tolba is recovering from an ACL injury, while Moritz-Broni Kwartend is back in training after an injury.
  • Back-up keeper Jan Olschowsky is ruled out till late October with a knee injury, while young talent Yvandro Borges Sanches is recovering from an ACL injury. Robin Hack could return after illness.

Prediction

  • Gladbach simply must improve after languishing in the bottom half for much of last season, finishing just a point above Bochum.
  • Perennial strugglers Bochum survived the drop last season with a remarkable relegation playoff turnaround in the second leg against Fortuna Düsseldorf.
  • 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.
  • Only a point seperated the two sides last season, but Gladbach won both meetings last season (3-1, 5-2) and can do the business once again.
