Details can make a big difference in matches like this one. One way for Borussia M'Gladbach to reach their goal in this game is to stick firmly to their game plan and execute it flawlessly.

Although Bochum are coming on the back of a harsh 3:0 loss, it would be rather unfair to judge them purely on that performance. They were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against Borussia Dortmund , so they spent most of the match trailing behind.

Results and standings notwithstanding, Borussia M'Gladbach have run into some defensive issues in this stretch of the Bundesliga. In the past 3 matches, they allowed more than 5 goals to their opponents, which may be cause for concern for their supporters.

Both sides have been heavily affected by recent injuries. Paul Grave, Erhan Mašović, Takuma Asano, Jacek Góralski, Dominique Heintz will not be playing on the home side, while Yann Sommer, Stefan Lainer, Jonas Hofmann, Florian Neuhaus, Hannes Wolf, Ko Itakura are unavailable for the visitors.
