Team News

Borussia M.Gladbach
FC Koln
  • Marvin Friedrich is still struggling with the lasting effects of COVID, but Tony Jantschke, Nico Elvedi and Jordan Beyer should all be fit after COVID.
  • Jonas Hofmann is fit after a muscle injury, while Ramy Bensebaïni could return from a thigh injury. Mamadou Doucoure has a muscle injury, but the influential Lars Stindl made his comeback recently after a knee problem. Luca Netz is nearing a return from a muscle injury as well.
  • Timo Hübers and Jan Thielmann are both available after suspension.
  • Timo Horn and Anthony Modeste are over illness, but Kingsley Schindler will miss this one due to personal reasons. Benno Schmitz, Salih Özcan, Sebastian Andersson could all return after recovering from the flu.

Prediction

  • Gladbach are unbeaten in four to move 11 points from a relegation spot and will look to avenge an embarrassing 4-1 derby defeat to Koln earlier this season.
  • Koln will be buoyed by coming back from 0-2 down to beat Mainz 3-2 last weekend and will look to 15 goal spearhead Anthony Modeste to lead the line.
  • A share of the spoils could be the answer here in a big Rhein derby.
