Team News
Bialek, Silva, William and Schlager are ruled out of contention for the hosts.
Doucoure, Thuram, Bensebaini and Lainer’s long term injury keeps them out of action for the visitors as well.
Wolfsburg possible 11:
Casteels, Mbabu, Lacroix, Brooks, Roussillon, Guilavogui, Arnold, Baku, Waldschmidt, Nmecha and Weghorst
Monchengladbach possible 11:
Sommer, Jantschke, Elvedi, Ginter, Netz, Kone, Zakaria, Scally, Stindl, Hofmann and Embolo
Prediction: Wolfsburg 2-0 Monchengladbach
We expect the hosts to return to winning ways in this as they face a struggling and out of form Monchengladbach side.
With 3 losses in their last 5 matches, Monchengladbach has defensive problems plaguing their side’s progress, which the home side must take advantage of.
Players to watch out for: Weghorst, Baku, Embolo and Zakaria.
