Borussia Monchengladbach preview: Poor form of late
Gladbach's stalemate with newly-promoted Hamburger SV was the fourth time in five games that they failed to win, a period in which they were beaten on three occasions.
With forwards Robin Hack and Tim Kleindienst ruled out due to injury, expect Haris Tabakovic, Franck Honorat and Florian Neuhaus to be stationed in the forward line.
Predicted lineup: Nicolas (GK), Sander, Elvedi, Takai, Scally, Reitz, Engelhardt, Netz, Honorat, Neuhaus & Tabakovic
Last five results:
- Hamburger SV 0-0 Borussia Monchengladbach
- Hoffenheim 5-1 Borussia Monchengladbach
- Borussia Monchengladbach 4-0 Augsburg
- Borussia Dortmund 2-0 Borussia Monchengladbach
- Borussia Monchengladbach 1-3 Wolfsburg
Stuttgart preview: Stumbling block?
Stuttgart suffered a Europa League defeat on Thursday, losing 2-0 against Roma, though they are unbeaten in five Bundesliga matches (three wins and two draws).
After starting against Roma, striker Deniz Undav may be rested, so perhaps Jamie Leweling, Nikolas Nartey, Chris Fuhrich and Ermedin Demirovic will start in attack.
Predicted lineup: Nubel (GK), Vagnoman, Hendriks, Chabot, Mittelstadt, Karazor, Stiller, Leweling, Nartey, Fuhrich & Demirovic
Last five results:
- Roma 2-0 Stuttgart
- Stuttgart 1-1 Union Berlin
- Stuttgart 3-2 Eintracht Frankfurt
- Bayer Leverkusen 1-4 Stuttgart
- Stuttgart 0-0 Hoffenheim
Player to watch: Jamie Leweling
If Stuttgart rest Deniz Undav, then they may have to rely on Jamie Leweling to impact play in the final third given he ranks second for combined goals and assists (13) in the squad.

The winger has scored six goals and provided seven assists this season, though he has failed to register a goal contribution in his last three games.
