Next Saturday, Borussia Dortmund face Borussia Mönchengladbach as part of Bundesliga Day 8. Dortmund wants to go back to the top while Mönchengladbach wants to maintain its leading position. Both teams will want to win.
Borussia Dortmund has been through a complicated pass for the past few weeks. Indeed, the men of Lucien Favre have won only one of their last 5 games in all competitions. Held in check by Barça in the Champions League (0-0), they also shared points with Eintracht Frankfurt (2-2), Werder Bremen (2-2) and Freiburg (2-2) in the league which made them fall to 8th place in the Bundesliga, 4 points behind the leader. On the other hand, they knew how to put the ingredients necessary to win against Slavia Prague in C1.
For its part, the Borussia Mönchengladbach surprised Germany to the point of occupying the 1st place in this Bundesliga, alone in front of Wolfsburg. The partners of former Guingampian Marcus Thuram are in great shape in this championship and remain on 4 wins of rank obtained against Cologne (0-1), Fortuna Düsseldorf (2-1), Hoffenheim (0-3) and Augbsourg ( 5-1) just before the truce. However, it is a little more difficult for them in the Europa League after their surprise loss conceded against Wolfsberger (0-4) and their draw on the field of Istanbul Basaksehir (1-1).
