| PROBABLE LINEUPS |
MONCHENGLADBACH  Ter Stegen Jantschke, Dante, Brouwers, Daems Wendt, Neustadter, Nordtveit, Arango Reus Hanke | BAYERN MUNICH  Neuer Lahm, Boateng, Badstuber, Alaba Gustavo, Kroos Robben, Muller, Ribery Gomez |
The good news for Borussia Monchengladbach is that Tony Jantschke is back to take his place on the right side of defence after missing Satuday's win over Bayer Leverkusen through suspension.
Patrick Herrmann is set to be involved after recovering from a lengthy collar bone problem, but is likely to only take a place on the bench, with Oscar Wendt continuing to fill his berth on the right-hand side of midfield.
Meanwhile, despite scoring a late winner in the weekend's clash, Igor De Camargo is unlikely to start, with Lucien Favre likely to continue with his preferred striking pair of Marco Reus and Mike Hanke.
After encountering problems with who to play in defence all season, Jupp Heynckes' side have found some stability of late with David Alaba at left back, Philipp Lahm on the right-hand side of defence and Jerome Boateng partnering Holger Badstuber in the centre.
However, Bastian Schweinsteiger is set to miss the encounter with a minor ankle injury sustained in his recover from torn ligaments.
Daniel Van Buyten has a broken foot sustained the last time these two sides met, while Breno has a knee injury.
| DID YOU KNOW? |
- Borussia Monchengladbach's 3-1 victory over Bayern in January completed the club's first ever league double over the Bavarians.
- Lucien Favre's side are one of just two clubs, the other being Hannover, to have an unbeaten home record in the Bundesliga this season.
- Since the Borussia Park club last reached the DFB-Pokal final in 1995, Bayern Munich have won the competition seven times, and were losing finalists on one other occasion.
- Bayern Munich were victorious in the 1984 edition of this tournament, beating Borussia Monchengladbach in the final.
- The Allianz Arena club's coach, Jupp Heynckes is a legendary figure around Borussia Park, having scored almost 200 Bundesliga goals across two spells with the club, more than any other player.
- Bayern have scored 20 goals in their last three games, with Mario Gomez (pictured) and Arjen Robben bagging 15 of those.
Bayern Munich's return to form has been well-documented, but Borussia Monchengladbach are a different proposition from Hoffenheim, Basel and Hertha Berlin. Lucien Favre's side are capable of hitting teams on the break with devastating effect, but have stuttered in recent weeks. Accordingly, I'd expect Bayern to win the game, but not by the convincing margin we've seen over the last few matches.
Editor's Prediction
Mönchengladbach 1-3 Bayern
