Borussia has won exactly ten points, which is enough for this team to fight for Euroa league, as opposed to Wolfsburg which is fighting for survival. True, they cannot get eliminated directly, but they can definitely end up in a position that leads to additional playoffs. When it comes to Borussia, their chances for placement in Europa league are high, as they are six points behind these positions. They were seriously injured in Munich in the last round, while Wolfsburg is three rounds without defeat. In the first part of the championships, the “Wolves” celebrated with 3-0.
In the team of Borussia are hoping that they can still take positions that lead to Europa league, but there are less points in the game and they might possibly lose chances even after this round, with the proviso that they can possibly get in a much more favourable situation with a victory in this match. They are not deciding just about their destiny, especially after a convincing defeat against Bayern.
Before that they had a series of three games without defeat and they hoped that they can do something against the relieved Bayern. At the early stages of duel they have taken a lead in Munich and their hope of success was further boosted, but at the end they were severely defeated with 5-1. The only goalkeeper was Drmic, who had been in the starting lineup for a long time, because they could not count on the suspended Stindl, while played Hofmann and T.Hazard were in the team. Now we expect Stindl to return instead of Raffael, who is not in good shape.
Probable lineups Borussia M’gladbach: Sommer – Elvedi, Ginter, Vestergaard, Wendt – Zakaria, Kramer – Hofmann, T.Hazard – Stindl, Drmic
Wolfsburg continues their fight to avoid additional playoffs for survival and it seems that it is becoming more and more uncertain as the championship comes to an end close. What Wolfsburg managed to do in the previous three rounds is to remain undefeated, but also to preserve their net intact. However, they only won once and that was against guests from Freiburg, which now have the same number of points, so it is clear how important this triumph is. On the other hand, the series continues without a win at home and they have only celebrated twice so far in front of their fans, and the last time against Borussia in early December.
In the previous round, they welcomed Augsburg, a team that pays very relieved, but Wolfsburg did not make use of it. They dominated, but then at the beginning of the second part they were unfortunately left with one less player on the field, so the end result was 0-0. By the end, their striker Uduokhai got a red card, so he will not be able to play in this match. Tisserand has recovered and maybe he will jump in the last line, which is likely to be the only change.
Probable lineups VfL Wolfsburg: Casteels – Verhaegh, Jaeckel, Knoche, Tisserand – Arnold, Didavi, Bazoer, William – Malli – Dimata
Both teams need points from this duel, but there is still greater pressure on the guests who are fearing of survival. They even play somewhat better as guests, so they could score a goal in M'gladbach, while we certainly expected that from the host.
Pick: both teams to score
