The team under new coach Albert Riera is highly motivated to secure a victory as they adapt to a refreshed mindset ahead of this meeting.

Gladbach travel to Frankfurt buoyed by a 1-1 draw with Bayer Leverkusen, seeing it as a solid result after neutralizing the opponent for much of the match.

Gladbach players stress keeping the Leverkusen momentum going in Frankfurt, with Yannik Engelhardt underscoring the need to sustain performance for more positive results.

Frankfurt will look to St46ger to drive the attack and sustain first-half intensity for the full match against Gladbach.

Frankfurt face injury issues up front, with Batshuayi, Ebnoutalib, Burkardt and Uzun out, while Kalimuendo is expected to start behind Gotze and Chaibi, and Hojlund is suspended.

Gladbach enter the game on a five-game winless run and sit 12th with 22 points, having won away only once in their last four road games.

Probable lineups indicate Frankfurt with Santos between the sticks and a front three including Kalimuendo, while Gladbach field a defense anchored by Elvedi with attackers Honorat and Tabakovic up front.
