Little time to rest for the hosts, as they were involved in a Champions League game only four days earlier. Thankfully the previous game, versus Manchester City, was also a home game here at Red Bull Arena. The away team is better rested.

Borussia Mönchengladbach form and stats
There's been little loot from Borussia Mönchengladbach's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 7 away games in the Bundesliga. Borussia Mönchengladbach only have 1 win to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw.
Home advantage was not enough for Mönchengladbach in their previous game, as they lost their Bundesliga-match, hosting Freiburg, 0-6. Mönchengladbach lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-6 beating and focus on this one. Mönchengladbach did not look prepared in the first half against Freiburg and lost the game during the first 45 minutes. They need to evaluate their pre-match routine before this one. The attacker Jonas Hofmann got a match rating of 7.3 in that game. Hofmann hit four key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 37 successful passes (of 42 total).
A 1-4 defeat away at Köln before that.Looking at the earlier recent performances of Mönchengladbach when being an outsider away as they are today, we find one match with the visitors losing zero times, drawing one and winning zero games.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Eintracht Frankfurt in just four days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Mönchengladbach as they have only managed to score 6 times from 7 away games in the league. The Mönchengladbach manager Hütter has some worries about the defense as 14 goals have been conceded in these travels.
