Team News

Borussia M.Gladbach
Leverkusen
  • Back-up keeper Jan Olschowsky is ruled out till late October with a knee injury, while young talent Yvandro Borges Sanches is recovering from an ACL injury.
  • Nico Elvedi is struggling with a foot injury, while Robin Hack should be fit after illness.
  • Exequiel Palacios is on his way back from a knee op, but barring late injuries, Xabi Alonso has almost a full-strength squad to begin the title defence.

Prediction

  • The 62nd Bundesliga campaign gets underway with the champions taking a tricky Rhein derby trip under the lights to neighbours Gladbach.
  • Xabi Alonso's record-breakers seek to retain their Bundesliga title, claimed so remarkably last season after a magical unbeaten run of 38 league games.
  • Hosts Gladbach simply must improve after languishing in the bottom half for much of last season, finishing just a point off a relegation spot.
  • A derby draw seems a good option here with Gladbach showing early signs of improvement.
