Borussia Monchengladbach
This is a season to forget for Borussia Monchengladbach, as instead fighting for Champions League places they are battling to avoid relegation. They lost the last game with 1-0 against Augsburg, which was their fourth defeat in the last six games. Currently they sit just six points above the relegation playoff spot and the second part of the season will be very tough for them.
Borussia Monchengladbach have won just four games this season and all of those four victories came at their home ground. Their recent home form was not particularly good as they were on a negative series of four straight winless home games, before winning their last home match with 1-0 against Mainz.
Borussia Monchengladbach`s recent home matches were unusually low-scoring affairs, with five of their last six home games ending with less than two goals scored.
Defensive midfielder Christoph Kramer sustained an injury in the last game against Augsburg, so he is doubtful for selection in this match.
Wolfsburg
After four straight winless games, Wolfsburg finally won their last match with 1-0 against the solid team of Eintracht Frankfurt. However, they still remain just three points above the relegation playoff spot, so their main goal for this season is to avoid relegation.
Some changes in the Wolfsburg team are to be expected this winter, and their head coach Valerien Ismael is the first one to go. A new coach will be appointed soon, but we should wait and see who will take over the team during the winter break.
Wolfsburg have won just one away game from their last six, and in their last away match they got thumped by Bayern Munich with 5-0.
