Gladbach Form & Balance Check
Borussia have the cloverleaves from Fürth as guests this coming Saturday. Against the promoted team, the Foals can basically only lose. Everyone expects Borussia to win and anything else would be tantamount to a big surprise. In their last match, they earned a point with a 1-1 draw against FSV Mainz 05. Florian Neuhaus gave his Borussia a 1-0 lead before Widmer managed to equalise the score for the Mainzers. With a win next Saturday against Fürth, Gladbach could climb further in the table. Currently, they are in 9th place with 15 points.
What’s wrong with Borussia?
In terms of the quality of their own players, we definitely have to rank Gladbach among the best five teams in the Bundesliga. Especially when it comes to the young players, there’s a lot going on here. It is all the more astonishing for the outsider that things are not yet really going well at Borussia. Against Fürth, coach Adi Hütter’s men want to remain without defeat for the third time in a row. If Gladbach can step it up a notch as the season progresses, then participation in international business should be within the realms of possibility.
Gladbach facts & analysis
– In 9th place with 15 points
– Most recently 1:1 against Mainz

Fürth form & balance check
You can already feel sorry for Fürth. With one point from the first eleven games, the Kleeblätter have actually made the worst start to the season in history. On the last matchday, they faced Eintracht from Frankfurt. For a long time, the Franconians looked like the sure losers before Cedric Itten scored in the 2nd minute of injury time for a more than deserved 1-1 equaliser. The fans in the Sportpark Ronhof were already happy about the second point of the season. However, Eintracht had one more attack and after Kostic’s cross, Borre scored to make it 1:2 from Fürth’s point of view.
Leitl so slowly at a loss
Even though Fürth are still waiting for their first win of the season, Stefan Leitl remains coach at the promoted club. The club has clearly communicated that it wants to continue with its promotion coach. At some point there will be the 1st win of the season. By the time it finally does, however, it could already be too late. At the moment, the gap to the save shore is already nine points. In their current condition, it is hard to imagine that the Fürth team will make up these points.

Predicted line-up – last update on 18 November 2021
