Wolfsburg	Borussia Moenchengladbach	5-1 (Loss)

Despite the ups and downs, Gerardo Seoane’s squad has found the net consistently. However, their solitary clean sheet in the past 5 matches suggests vulnerabilities at the back. Their ability to score late, especially in the 76-90 minute interval, could be crucial in this encounter.

Borussia Moenchengladbach Key Players

Borussia Moenchengladbach will be looking to their key players to secure a win at home. Top scorer Tim Kleindienst, who has netted 12 goals this season, will be sorely missed due to a muscle injury. The pressure will be on alternatives like Tomas Cvancara to step up. Julian Weigl’s controlling presence in the midfield will be critical, especially against Eintracht’s dynamic players. Key individual battles might include Borussia’s defenders, like Nico Elvedi, facing off against Eintracht’s attacker Hugo Ekitike. Expected lineup for Borussia Moenchengladbach:

• Goalkeeper: Moritz Nicolas
• Defenders: Joe Scally, Ko Itakura, Nico Elvedi, Lukas Ullrich
• Midfielders: Julian Weigl, Philipp Sander, Nathan N’Goumou, Kevin Stöger, Robin Hack
• Forward: Tomas Cvancara

Borussia Moenchengladbach Suspensions & Injuries

Borussia Moenchengladbach will be contending with several key injuries as they face Eintracht Frankfurt. The most notable absentee will be their top scorer, Tim Kleindienst, who is out with a muscle injury. These absences could impact their attacking potential and overall team dynamics.

Alassane Plea	Muscle injury	Mid February 2025
Tobias Sippel	Illness	A few days
Rocco Reitz	Toe injury	Late February 2025
Tim Kleindienst	Muscle injury	Late February 2025

The loss of Kleindienst, along with Plea, means the team will need to rely more heavily on the likes of Tomas Cvancara and Robin Hack to lead the charge in attack.
