Recent Form: Monchengladbach
The two teams come into this fixture on the back of contrasting fortunes. Monchengladbach defeated Bochum 2-0 away from home in their last league fixture. This victory has given them a much-needed boost. However, they have struggled for consistency in their last few league matches. They have won just once in their last 7 league matches. During this period, they won 1, drew 3, and lost 3 league matches.
Home Struggles

Recent Form: Stuttgart
Stuttgart, on their part, have been impressive in their last few matches. They have won 3 of their last 7 league matches coming into this fixture.

This result was disappointing for them, as they had hoped to secure all three points.
