get ready BVB

Twelve hours to go and it's time for you to join-in....



Gladbach's visit of BVB promises to be a tough match. Jürgen Klopp's club plays a admirable tough defensive plan that make few defending mistakes and yet to lose a match in front of their home fans this year. With an expected sellout he is calling upon a passionate performance in what is likely a sold-out match.

As the final match before the break Die Fohlen are looking for so much needed points as they are nestled at the bottom of the table. From a statiscal perspective BVB will be looking to re-start their offensive what is the lowest ranks defense's in the Bundesliga at present. Following the match, Hans Meyer is likely to start putting in a series of changes that will see a significantly different lineup. Many players will keep that in the back of their heads, knowing they may be fighting for a place in the lineup.

Filip Daems is missing with suspension and per Hans Meyer his loss is “problematic." Christofer Heimeroth will handle goalkeeping duties as Uwe Gospodarek is still having problems with his knee. Oliver Neuville is going to be held back as they don't want to jeopardize his recovery for the second half of the season. Die Fohlen have recently used a 4-4-2 but will likely revert to a 4-2-3-1 with Rob Friend up top supported by Michael Bradley, Marko Marin and Roberto Colautti.
