However, the Stuttgart team didn’t give up and scored a goal through Tiago Tomás (35’). As a result, the Swabians worked their way into the game better and better, but without creating any great chances before the break. So excitement is guaranteed for the second round. See you soon!

The guests from Stuttgart are on the upswing under interim coach Michael Wimmer after six points from three Bundesliga games and have gained some breathing room in the table basement. In the 2-1 win against FC Augsburg last weekend, the Swabians were rewarded with a goal from Waldemar Anton in injury time with the all-important three points. Before the appearance at Borussia, VfB interim coach Wimmer was self-confident: “We want to play our game and our idea against Gladbach again. 8:30 p.m. in Borussia Park is a challenge for every team. We’ll tackle it and a good game make.”
19:40
After the last four competitive games in a row without a win, it will be important for Borussia Mönchengladbach to initiate a turnaround, at least in terms of results. In the previous week, the Foals gambled away a 1-0 lead at Union Berlin and conceded the goal deep in injury time to make it 2-1. As a result, the Gladbachers have also slipped down to 11th place in the table. Accordingly, BMG coach Daniel Farke knows how important today’s game is: “We have to stand together and clench our teeth because we are currently playing without a key player. We want to regain the momentum with three points against Stuttgart.”
19:24
Welcome to the Friday night game in the Bundesliga! At 8.30 p.m. Borussia Mönchengladbach and VfB Stuttgart meet at the start of the 13th match day.
