Borussia Monchengladbach will host Werder Bremen at Borussia-Park on Friday in another round of the 2023-24 Bundesliga campaign.
The home side have had mixed results this season but remain hopeful of securing a return to the continental stage at the end of the campaign. They were beaten 3-1 by last-placed Union Berlin in their last match, finding themselves three goals down before Alassane Plea headed home a late consolation goal.
Borussia Monchengladbach sit 10th in the league table with 16 points from 14 games. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and get back to winning ways this weekend.
Trending
Werder Bremen have had their struggles in the Bundesliga this season but remain on course to avoid the drop. They returned to winning crucially last weekend with a 2-0 victory over Augsburg with Niklas Stark scoring the opener to record his maiden goal for the club before Marvin Ducksch wrapped up the points in the second half.
The visitors sit two places and two points behind their weekend opponents and will leapfrog them with a win on Friday.
