Borussia Dortmund Preview

Formation: 3-4-3

Borussia Dortmund Predicted Line-Up: Gregor Kobel; Ramy Bensebaini, Waldemar Anton, Niklas Süle; Daniel Svensson, Pascal Groß, Julian Brandt, Yan Couto; Karim Adeyemi, Serhou Guirassy, Jamie Gittens

Despite beating Barcelona in their second leg of the UEFA Champions League Quarter Finals, Borussia Dortmund’s efforts were unfortunately not enough to see them progress any further into the competition. Going from bad to worse, it looks like Dortmund will miss out on UEFA Champions League football next season with them currently residing in eighth place after 29 games. In that time, Borussia Dortmund have won 12, lost 11 and drawn six, leaving them with a tally of 42 points. Their opponents sit just two points above them in the standings so a win is crucial for Dortmund to not only leapfrog Borussia Mönchengladbach, but to also keep them in with a mathematical chance of making the UEFA Champions League places come the final day of the campaign.

Die Borussen Die Schwarzgelben and Serhou Guirassy have been a combination for plenty of goals this season. Guirassy is relishing in his first season at the club, finding the back of the net 15 times in the Bundesliga. The 29-year-old Guinean striker is just coming off the back of grabbing himself a hattrick against FC Barcelona in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday so his confidence must be through the roof. He will definitely be the one that Dortmund can look to this Sunday with Guirassy taking on the role as difference maker.

Borussia Mönchengladbach Preview

Formation: 4-2-3-1

Borussia Mönchengladbach Predicted Line-Up: Tiago Pereira Cardoso; Luca Netz Ullrich, Nico Elvedi, Ko Itakura, Joe Scally; Julian Weigl, Florian Neuhaus; Robin Hack, Alassane Pléa, Franck Honorat; Tim Kleindienst

Finishing in 14th place last season in what was a terrible effort by their standards, Borussia Mönchengladbach have bounced back in style. After 29 Bundesliga matches they currently occupy seventh place with 13 wins, 11 losses and five draws, leaving them with a tally of 44 points. UEFA Champions League football for next season is definitely a real possibility for Mönchengladbach with them being only four points behind fourth placed RB Leipzig and not long to go until the end of the campaign.

Bagging goals for Die Fohlen have been talents Tim Kleindienst and Alassane Pléa. Between the two of them they have produced 34 goal involvements, Pléa offering 14 and Kleindienst registering 20 on the season so far. With them in lethal form, it seems like either one of them could add to their tallies this Sunday, helping Borussia Mönchengladbach get back into the UEFA Champions League after a five-year stint of absence.
