SpVgg Greuther Fürth will host Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday in the 29th game week of the German top flight
Greuther Furth are running out of time to save their top-flight status. They are on a run of back-to-back goalless draws, with their most recent stalemate coming against Eintracht Frankfurt last weekend.
Greuther Furth remain rock-bottom in the league table with just 16 points picked up so far. They are 11 points away from safety at the moment and cannot afford any slipups in their remaining six games this season.
Monchengladbach, meanwhile, have had a campaign to forget and will look forward to next season. They held on for a 1-1 draw against Mainz in their last outing and had the heroics of their goalkeeper Yann Sommer to thank for a share of the spoils.
The visitors sit 12th in the league with 34 points from 28 games. They will now look to return to winning ways this weekend as they target a top-half finish.

Greuther Furth vs Borussia Monchengladbach Prediction
Greuther Furth are on a six-game winless run in the league and have failed to score in their last two outings. All three of their league wins this season have come on home turf, and they will look to capitalise on that this weekend.
Borussia Monchengladbach, meanwhile, have had their struggles this season but are on a three-game unbeaten run. The visitors should come out on top on Saturday.
Prediction: Greuther Furth 0-2 Borussia Monchengladbach.
