Borussia Monchengladbach resume their Bundesliga campaign post the international break with a home game against SC Freiburg on Saturday.
The hosts' 3-0 win over FC Schalke on 20 March was their first win in nine games across all competitions. Freiburg also recorded a 2-0 win in their previous outing against Augsburg after two consecutive losses.
The hosts have lost their last four games at Borussia Park. They will be hoping to end that winless run in this game against a side they haven't lost to in their last 16 meetings.
