Dortmund have lost just one of their last 16 home games to Gladbach

Borussia Dortmund host Borussia Monchengladbach at Signal Iduna Park in the Bundesliga on Sunday, looking to put the European humiliation behind them.

Marco Rose's side were beaten 4-2 at home by Scottish team Rangers in the Europa League on Thursday, their second consecutive home loss in all competitions.

On the league front, they're only four points behind leaders Bayern Munich and will look to keep up the pressure with a win.

The Foals, meanwhile, have seen their dreadful run from last season continue, as they sit in 13th place with just seven wins all season.

However, one of those wins came against Dortmund earlier this season as Gladbach secured a 1-0 victory at home.

At Signal Iduna Park, they've won only once in their last 15 trips.

The biggest question facing the home side is Erling Haaland's fitness, as the Norwegian remains doubtful for the clash.

He was also absent from their Europa League game against Rangers on Thursday.

Mateu Morey remains on the sidelines with a serious knee injury, while Marcel Schmelzer continues his recovery from the same problem.

Giovani Reyna returned from a five-month layoff earlier this week, making an appearance off the bench in the loss to Rangers.

Borussia Dortmund vs Borussia Monchengladbach Prediction

Neither side have been fully convincing of late. Dortmund have conceded nine goals in their last two home games but have a good record against the Foals at the Westfalonstadion.

Gladbach, with all their attacking options, will pose a threat but we expect Marco Rose's current side to prevail over his former team.

Prediction: Borussia Dortmund 3-2 Borussia Monchengladbach
