Player to watch – Franck Honorat

Versatile Frenchman Franck Honorat has enjoyed a productive maiden campaign in Germany since his move to Gladbach from Ligue 1 outfit Brest last summer and the 27-year-old delivered successive Man-of-the-Match performances in his last two appearances for Die Fohlen.

Honorat’s delivery could be key

Honorat has already lodged an impressive seven assists in the Bundesliga this term, making him Gladbach’s most creative player by a distance. The wing-back has also been averaging a club-high 2.7 key passes per game and his pinpoint delivery could put more chances on a plate for his teammates on Saturday.
