📰 Team News: Gladbach

We are thinking that Gladbach could go for a 4-2-3-1 system this time, utilising T. Pereira Cardoso, Joseph Scally, Ko Itakura, Nico Elvedi, Lukas Ullrich, Rocco Reitz, Julian Weigl, Franck Honorat, Alassane Plea, Robin Hack and Tim Kleindienst.

📰 Team News: Freiburg

Freiburg manager Julian Schuster has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Daniel-Kofi Kyereh (Knee surgery), Noah Atubolu (Shoulder injury) and Bruno Ogbus (Achilles tendon rupture) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

There’s a good chance that Freiburg might make use of a 4-4-1-1 lineup, starting the game with Florian Mueller, Kilian Sildillia, Max Rosenfelder, Philipp Lienhart, Christian Guenter, Ritsu Doan, Maximilian Eggestein, Patrick Osterhage, Vincenzo Grifo, Lucas Hoeler and Chukwubuike Adamu.

💭 Prediction

Freiburg will need things to go their way to breach the defence of this Borussia Mönchengladbach lineup who we reckon should score & stay on top.

That’s why our selection here is for a good battle with a 1-0 victory for Borussia Mönchengladbach when the full-time whistle blows.

Let’s see how it plays out.
