Borussia Monchengladbach Team News: Potential striker crisis

Eintracht Frankfurt Team News: Two confirmed out for away side

Predicted XI (3-4-3): Trapp; Collins, Tuta, Theate; Kristensen, Skhiri, Larsson, Brown; Knauff, Ekitike, Gotze
Unavailable: Koch (Injured), Matanovic (Injured)
Questionable: Chaibi (Illness), Dina Ebimbe (Injured)
Borussia Monchengladbach vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction
Eintracht Frankfurt will be hoping to get back to winning ways after consecutive draws in the Bundesliga, maintaining their current firm grip on a top four place with the gap currently six points between them and fifth-placed Stuttgart. But against a Borussia Monchengladbach side who have won their last two league matches, that’s easier said than done.
But a critical factor in this encounter could well be the potential absences of both Kleindienst and Plea. To lose either would be a serious blow, to lose both would be disastrous for Gladbach and really tip the scales in Eintracht’s favour. When considering the fitness levels of both, the double chance market may be the way to go here. Specifically backing the visitors to pick up a point if not all three.
