Now comes the favorite opponent! Wolfsburg has been unbeaten against Gladbach for 18 years. It should stay that way on Saturday (3:30 p.m. / Sky).
But it won’t be easy. Despite the weak start to the season, the “foals” arrive with a big chest after their Dortmund win (1-0) last week.

That is why Wölfe coach Mark van Bommel (44) will not underestimate the eleventh place in the table: “Gladbach has a clever team. They anticipate and can react at any time if something else happens. You can make your own decisions on the lawn. “
Van Bommel warns of Gladbach
Although the Dutchman never lost to Borussia during his playing days (four games – two wins / two draws), the former Bayern star has another favorite opponent. “That was Schalke. It was nice to play there in such an atmosphere. We drew once with Bayern and we won everything else, ”said the ex-national player.
He now also wants to win with Wolfsburg – against Gladbach. The unfortunate 1-1 draw against Sevilla in the Champions League after a restless night no longer plays a role.
“We have to forget Wednesday’s game,” said van Bommel. “We have to leave that behind as soon as possible. You don’t sleep well after a game like that. “
Sebastiaan Bornauw (22) was really good recently. The defender made a strong game in the premier class and will keep his starting eleven against Gladbach. To do this, John Anthony Brooks (28) has to watch from the bench.
By the way, Paulo Otávio (26) is back after a long ankle injury. The left-back is training with the team again and could celebrate his comeback after the international break against Union Berlin.
