Match preview
Under Marco Rose, RB Leipzig has hit top form, winning four of their last five league matches and amassing 53 points to solidify third place. The "Red Bulls" remain a formidable force at home, unbeaten against Gladbach in their last nine encounters in Leipzig. Despite the absence of Castello Lukeba through injury, squad depth allows the hosts to maintain their aggressive playing style.
Borussia Mönchengladbach, led by Eugen Polanski, has endured a turbulent season, mixing eye-catching performances with defensive lapses. After 28 games, they've collected 30 points and sit 13th in the table. The absence of top scorer Tim Kleindienst is a major blow, significantly reducing their aerial threat and finishing ability. The Foals will need to be at their defensive best to contain Leipzig's pacey attack.
Tactically, expect classic Red Bull football with high pressing and rapid vertical attacks. Borussia are likely to opt for a cautious approach, defending deep and hoping to capitalize on counterattacks through their skilled forwards.
Probable lineups
Leipzig: Gulacsi — Baku, Orban, Bitshiabu, Raum — Seiwald, Banzuzi, Nusa, Bakayoko — Baumgartner, Harder
Borussia M: Nicolas — Scally, Diks, Elvedi, Ullrich — Reitz, Engelhardt, Castrop, Honorat — Machino, Tabakovic
