After having their five-match unbeaten run snapped last week, Borussia Mönchengladbach look to get back to winning ways when they host Hannover on Saturday.
Gladbach were beaten 2-1 by Bayern Munich last Friday when they conceded at goal to Holger Badstuber with 15 minutes to play. They had won three of four games prior to the defeat.
Hannover, meanwhile, have struggled in their last three matches, earning just one point in last week's 0-0 draw with leaders Bayer Leverkusen. They have not scored in that stretch of games as well.
Gladbach manager Michael Frontzeck will be without Jan-Ingwer Callsen-Bracker due to a foot injury, and Paul Stalteri, Filip Daems and Christian Dorda continue to miss out with various injuries.
Hannover have no new injuries to report, but Leon Balogun, Altin Lala, Sal Zizzo and Mikael Forssell remain sidelined with injuries.
These two sides are right next to each other in the league standings, and the match should be one of the more tightly-contested ones of the week. A draw is not out of the cards, but look for Gladbach to come back strong at home.
