📋 Team News: Gladbach

Jonas Omlin (Calf injury), Yvandro Borges Sanches (Cruciate ligament tear), Franck Honorat (Calf injury) and Jan Olschowsky (Knee medial ligament tear) will not be taking part for Gladbach manager Gerardo Seoane.

It seems likely that Gladbach will probably employ a 4-2-3-1 system for the game and select Moritz Nicolas, Joseph Scally, Ko Itakura, Nico Elvedi, Luca Netz, Rocco Reitz, Julian Weigl, Robin Hack, Kevin Stoeger, Alassane Plea and Tim Kleindienst.

ℹ️ Team News: Union Berlin

Union Berlin manager Bo Svensson has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Kevin Volland (Knee surgery), Ivan Prtajin (muscular problems), Josip Juranovic (surgery) and Yannic Stein (surgery) will miss out on this game.

We are inclined to think that Union appear most likely to begin the game with a 3-4-3 system, giving starts to Frederik Roennow, Danilho Doekhi, Kevin Vogt, Diogo Leite, Janik Haberer, Andras Schafer, Rani Khedira, Tom Rothe, Woo-Yeong Jeong, Jordan Pefok and Benedict Hollerbach.

✨ Prediction

When taking everything into account, Union Berlin may not find it easy to find the net against this Borussia Mönchengladbach team who will likely manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.

With that in mind, we reckon that it will be a very competitive encounter with a 1-0 win for Borussia Mönchengladbach when the referee blows for full-time.
