Gladbach vs RB Leipzig preview: Can Leipzig move back into the top four?

RB Leipzig will be aiming to move back into the Champions League places with a win on Monday, but they must overcome a Borussia Mönchengladbach side that have lost just one of their last five home games.

With three matches remaining, Gladbach sit in a disappointing 13th position. 

Although there may not be much to play for, Adi Hütter will be challenging his side to finish the season on the front foot with a top half finish still a possibility. 

After losing 3-1 to FC Köln in the Rhine Derby, Gladbach played out a dramatic 3-3 draw with Freiburg in their last outing. 

Ramy Bensebaïni and Breel Embolo netted within 13 minutes of kick off to give Gladbach a two-goal advantage, but the game was turned on its head in the second half with Vincenzo Grifo, Christian Günter and Philipp Lienhart all scoring to give Freiburg a 3-2 lead. However, with all hope seemingly lost Lars Stindl nodded home in the third minute of stoppage time to rescue a point for Die Fohlen. 

Despite snatching a point in their most recent encounter, Hütter will be concerned that his side have conceded three goals in their last two matches, leaving Gladbach with the third-worst defence in the Bundesliga. 

The hosts can at least take confidence from the fact that they have scored in each of their last eight games.  (Bulinews)
