🗞️ Team News: Gladbach

Marvin Friedrich (Torn Muscle Fibre), Hannes Wolf (Hamstring Injury), Lars Stindl (Hamstring Injury) and Kouadio Koné (Knock) will not be taking part for Gladbach manager Daniel Farke.

We are thinking that Gladbach will probably make use of the 4-2-3-1 system for this one and select Yann Sommer, Joseph Scally, Ko Itakura, Nico Elvedi, Ramy Bensebaini, Christoph Kramer, Florian Neuhaus, Patrick Herrmann, Jonas Hofmann, Alassane Plea and Marcus Thuram.

ℹ️ Team News: Hoffenheim

Hoffenheim boss André Breitenreiter has to currently contend with reduced team options. Benjamin Hübner (Medial Collateral Ligament Injury), Ihlas Bebou (Knee Problems), Ermin Bicakcic (Fitness) and Angelo Stiller (Ruptured ligaments) miss out here.

There’s a good chance that Hoffenheim seem likely to play in a 3-2-3-2 formation, starting the game with Oliver Baumann, Stefan Posch, Kevin Vogt, Ozan Kabak, Pavel Kaderabek, Robert Skov, Grischa Proemel, Diadie Samassekou, C. Baumgartner, Jacob Bruun Larsen and Andrej Kramaric.
