Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
All eyes will be on Borussia-Park when Borussia M’gladbach and Borussia Dortmund square off against each other in an eagerly-awaited Bundesliga game. Die Fohlen aim to recover from a 3-1 loss to Freiburg and you should know that they are after their fifth consecutive win at home ground. Both Florian Neuhaus and Luca Netz are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
The Yellow-Blacks, on the other hand, shared the spoils with Bayern Munich in der Klassiker at the weekend, but their performance in the Bundesliga derby is surely fuelling fans with optimism ahead of upcoming challenges. As Borussia M’gladbach suit Borussia Dortmund, we are tempted to put our money on Nuri Sahin’s troops. The good news for the visitors is that midfielder Emre Can is back from suspension. Waldemar Anton, though, has joined Julian Brandt and Karim Adeyemi in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Julian Brandt):
Julian Brandt is one of the most promising wingers in Germany. He started playing football in his hometown, Bremen, at SC Borgfeld, moving to FC Oberneuland, after which he joined VLF Wolfsburg’s youth academy. With 27 goals in his 48 games during two seasons with the Wolves, Brandt recommended himself to Bayer 04 Leverkusen, signing a five-and-a-half-year contract in January 2014.
The 22-year-old winger prefers to play on the left flank, but he can also provide help on the right side, as well as an attacking midfielder. During the season 2015/2016, Julian Brandt netted goals in six consecutive games, becoming the youngest player since Gerd Muller to achieve this.
The good performances in the season made Joackim Low call the youngster in Germany’s preliminary 27-man squad for the Euro 2016 and he made his first appearance for the senior squad in May 2016, against Slovakia.
