Borussia Mönchengladbach
Monchengladbach appear to be in a precarious situation after suffering three consecutive defeats in Bundesliga, with their recent setback coming against RB Leipzig.
The worrying fact is that all those defeats are heavy and they have conceded 14 goals in just three games.
Currently demoralised, Gladbach have to find a way to return to their best, as they are currently 13th in the rankings.
The fixture against Frankfurt could be a tough one as the visitors are coming on the back of an emphatic win against Bayer Leverkusen. Nonetheless, Gladbach would look to take advantage of their impressive home record against Frankfurt.
Possible Borussia Mönchengladbach line-up
Yann Sommer; Matthias Ginter, Nico Elvedi, Ramy Bensebaini; Patrick Herrmann, Denis Zakaria, Kouadio Kone, Joe Scally; Laszlo Benes; Alassane Plea, Breel Embolo
Injured: Jordan Beyer, Jonas Hoffman
Doubtful: None
Suspended: Lars Stindl
Eintracht Frankfurt
Unlike Gladbach, Frankfurt will enter the tie full of confidence after thrashing a potential title contender Bayer Leverkusen 5-2 in the Bundesliga last week.
The Eagles pulled off an emphatic comeback despite Patrik Schick’s early two goals.
It was a wonderful team effort from Oliver Glasner’s side and they will look to build on it when they play Gladbach on Wednesday.
The Eagles are ninth in the league table and another win could get them closer to the top-four race.
Filip Kostic made his presence felt in every possible way against Leverkusen although he couldn’t find the score sheet. The Serbian is turning out to be the standout player once again for Frankfurt.
The wait for Daichi Kamada’s first goal goes on and he would look to end the drought against Gladbach.
Possible Eintracht Frankfurt line-up
Kevin Trapp; Stefan Ilsanker, Makoto Hasebe, Evan Ndicka; Timothy Chandler, Sebastian Rode, Kristijan Jakic, Filip Kostic; Jesper Lindstrom, Daichi Kamada; Rafael Santos Borre
Injured: Jens Hague
Doubtful: None
Suspended: None
Prediction
Gladbach 1 – 3 Frankfurt
