Borussia Monchengladbach vs Borussia Dortmund – Match preview and team news

Borussia Monchengladbach team news

Borussia Mönchengladbach enters the match dealing with significant gaps in their team.

Manager Eugen Polanski must find a replacement for Jens Castrop, who is suspended for the remainder of the season following his red card against Wolfsburg; Lukas Ullrich is the frontrunner to fill that void on the left flank.

In a major boost to the backline, Kevin Diks is fit to return to the starting XI, likely displacing Fabio Chiarodia.

However, the attack remains depleted as Tim Kleindienst is sidelined with fitness issues, joining Jan Urbich and Nathan N’Goumou on the injury list.

The silver lining for Die Fohlen is the return of Robin Hack to full training. He played as a substitute against Wolfsburg last weekend and is ready to provide a much-needed creative option from the bench as the team looks to secure points at Borussia-Park.

Borussia Dortmund team news

Borussia Dortmund travels to Mönchengladbach with multiple injury concerns. The squad is notably thinned out at the back, with Niklas Süle (knee) and Emre Can (ACL) both ruled out, while Ramy Bensebaini is unlikely to feature due to a foot injury sustained against Freiburg.

This shortage likely paves the way for Luca Reggiani to earn a start in a back three. While Yan Couto and Jobe Bellingham have battled recent illness, both are expected to be available.

In the final third, Kovac may opt for the energy of Carney Chukwuemeka over Julian Brandt to support Serhou Guirassy and the emerging Samuele Inácio, as BVB aims to maintain their grip on a top-two finish despite a mounting injury list that still includes Felix Nmecha.

Form

Borussia Monchengladbach

Die Fohlen enter this fixture in a frustrating period of stagnation, having failed to win any of their last five Bundesliga matches. Their recent results include four draws and one defeat, most recently playing out a gritty 0-0 draw away at Wolfsburg on April 25. While they remain 14th and relatively safe from the drop, their lack of attacking spark is evident.

Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund is in high spirits after a commanding 4-0 victory over SC Freiburg on April 26, a result that mathematically secured their Champions League spot for next season. Currently 2nd in the table, BVB has won three of their last five league outings. Despite a 2-1 slip-up at Hoffenheim in mid-April, their away form remains formidable, with only one defeat in their last 11 road matches in the Bundesliga.

Predicted lineups

Borussia Monchengladbach: Nicolas; Sander, Elvedi, Diks; Scally, Reitz, Engelhardt, Stoger, Ullrich; Honorat, Tabakovic

Borussia Dortmund: Kobel; Reggiani, Anton, Schlotterbeck; Ryerson, Sabitzer, Bellingham, Beier; Chukwuemeka, Inacio; Guirassy
