Thanks to its two former Ligue 1 players, Leipzig follows the lead in the Bundesliga, behind Dortmund by one point. However, they lost Lukas Klostermann to injury, an indisputable starter this season in Leipzig. For Borussia Monchengladbach, the bad season continues. In the last 9 matches, the Fohlen have only won once. They are far in the standings with a 14th place and must also look behind, they are only 6 points ahead of the first relegated Cologne.
