Although Borussia Mönchengladbach won the game, their two main defenders received their fifth yellow card of the season, so they are both suspended for this game! They are the main central defender Itakura Akira (23 games, 1 goal) and the right back Joseph Scully (23 games).

Before the game, the coach has confirmed that the 32-year-old veteran Reiner (15 games, 3 starts) will replace Scully, and the third central defender Friedrich (17 games, 8 starts) or the young player Kiltiroja (10 games, 0 starts) may replace Itakura Akira. Borussia Mönchengladbach's defense is greatly weakened!

The No. 1 goalkeeper Moritz Nicolaas (19 games) was injured two rounds ago, and the No. 2 goalkeeper Omlin (5 games) was sent off in the last game, so they were forced to use the second team goalkeeper Cardoso in the last round! Omlin had been released from suspension before this game, but he was sent off in the last game, which led to the team's 0-3 defeat and played extremely poorly. The youth goalkeeper Cardoso also completed a zero in the last game. If Monchengladbach changes the goalkeeper and lets Omlin return to the starting lineup, the effect may be worse than starting the 18-year-old youth goalkeeper.

It can be seen that Monchengladbach's defense line will have a big hidden danger in this game.
