The Bundesliga resumes this weekend and will see Borussia Monchengladbach host Borussia Dortmund in the Borussen Derby on Saturday.
Borussia Monchengladbach have been one of the biggest underperformers in the Bundesliga this campaign. They lost 1-0 to Augsburg in their last game, making it a third loss in five Bundesliga games so far.
Adolf Hutter's spell in charge of Borussia Monchengladbach has certainly not begun according to plan. Die Borussen have picked up just one win in five Bundesliga games so far. They currently sit 16th in the league with four points.
Borussia Dortmund, however, have been in very good form under former Monchengladbach boss Marco Rose. They beat Union Berlin 4-2 in their last game with a goal from Raphael Guerreiro, a brace from Erling Haaland and an own goal by Marvin Friedrich.
Dortmund's win over Union Berlin last weekend was their third straight Bundesliga win and fourth in all competitions. The Black and Yellows sit third in the Bundesliga, just a point behind the top two.

Borussia Monchengladbach vs Borussia Dortmund Prediction
Borussia Monchengladbach have been largely disappointing this campaign with just one league win so far. They are however unbeaten on home turf this campaign and will hope to continue that on Saturday.
Borussia Dortmund, on the other hand, are in good form and have won their last four games. Their defense has been rather porous as they have already conceded 11 goals in just five league games. The visitors should however be able to win the derby.
Prediction: Borussia Monchengladbach 1-2 Borussia Dortmund
