Team News

Borussia M.Gladbach
Bochum
  • Ko Itakura is suspended after his sending off last weekend. Yvandro Borges Sanches is nearing a return from ligament damage, but Christoph Kramer should return from illness to midfield.
  • Top scorer Marcus Thuram is ruled out with a muscle injury and may not play again for the Foals. Ramy Bensebaini is nearing a return from a hip injury, while Manu Koné has recovered from a thigh injury.
  • Keven Schlotterbeck is struggling with a knee injury, while Philipp Förster is nearing a return from an Achilles problem.

Prediction

  • Bochum field the most porous defence in the whole league with 67 goals conceded and sit precariously in the relegation play-off place on goal difference.
  • Gladbach have a respectable home record with eight wins, but just a solitary win on their travels has left them in no-mans land in the standings.
  • Beleaguered Bochum have proved half decent on home soil with six wins, but just two away wins has left them in trouble.
  • Back Gladbach on home soil to edge this one.
