Borussia Monchengladbach will host Augsburg at the Borussia-Park on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Bundesliga campaign.
The home side have had their struggles in the league this season but will be looking to make a push for continental football in the second half of the campaign.
They returned to winning ways last time out with a 3-1 victory over Stuttgart, with Robin Hack scoring an early brace before substitute Jordan Siebatcheu wrapped up the points in additional time.
Borussia Monchengladbach sit 10th in the league table with 20 points from 17 games. They are two points and two places above their weekend opponents and will be looking to widen that gap on Sunday.
Augsburg have had a difficult run of results of late but remain on course to avoid the drop. They were beaten 1-0 by high-flying Bayer Leverkusen in their last match and had looked set to be headed toward a hard-fought goalless draw before their opponents scored the winner at the death.
