Borussia Monchengladbach host Freiburg at the Borussia-Park in the Bundesliga on Saturday (March 4), looking to recover from their latest setback.
The Foals lost 4-0 to Mainz in their last top-flight game on Saturday, with Lee Jae-sung, Marcus Ingvartsen, Ludovic Ajorque and Nelson Weiper scoring. Following their ninth defeat of the season, Daniel Farke's side slipped to tenth in the standings with 29 points from 22 games, having won only eight times.
Monchengladbach have overseen a truly miserable campaign by their own standards, failing to win two Bundesliga games in a row all season.
Freiburg, meanwhile, are up in fifth place, having accrued 12 points more than Gladbach. However, their two-game winning run was snapped following a 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen at the weekend.
Iranian star Sardar Azmoun cancelled out Vincenzo Grifo's first-half opener for the Breisgau-Brasilianer to force a share of the spoils.
