The action continues in round 10 of the German Bundesliga as Borussia Monchengladbach and FC Koln lock horns at Borussia-Park on Saturday. Eugen Polanski’s side are without a home win in the league since the start of April and will be out to end this dire run.
Borussia Monchengladbach secured their first Bundesliga win of the season last Saturday as they thrashed St. Pauli 4-0 when the two teams met at the Millerntor Stadion.
This was a much-needed result for Polanski’s men, who had failed to win their previous 15 league matches, losing 10 and claiming five draws since scraping a 1-0 victory over RB Leipzig on March 29.
Borussia Monchengladbach have picked up six points from their nine Bundesliga matches so far to sit 16th in the standings, only above Mainz and rock-bottom Heidenheim.
On the other hand, Koln turned in a dominant team display last Sunday when they cruised to a 4-1 victory over Hamburger at the RheinEnergieStadion.
Before that, Lukas Kwasniok’s side were on a three-game winless run, claiming one draw and losing twice, including a 4-1 defeat against high-flying Bayern Munich in the DFB Pokal second round on October 29.
Koln have won four of their nine Bundesliga matches so far, while losing three and claiming two draws to collect 14 points and sit seventh in the table, level on points with eighth-placed Eintracht Frankfurt.
