Team News

Borussia M.Gladbach
Leverkusen
  • Stefan Lainer has lymph node cancer, while Manu Kone and Christoph Kramer both have niggly knee injuries. Tomás Cvancara has a foot injury, while Luca Netz has a muscle problem.
  • Amine Adli is suspended for two more games after his sending off on the final day of the season. Sardar Azmoun will be out until next month with a calf problem, while Patrik Schick underwent surgery after problems with his adductors. Piero Hincapié is out with a broken foot for 10-12 weeks.

Prediction

  • Looking to improve on a disappointing campaign last term, Gladbach were involved in an eight-goal thriller last weekend.
  • Leverkusen will be buoyed by their win over Leipzig and will start as favourites.
  • Their two Rhein derby meetings saw nine goals last season and a high-scoring share of the spoils is the call here.
