Prediction
Gladbach are not on the best form at the moment. They need to improve as
a team again to continue to challenge for a Champions League spot.
Cologne are currently occupying the relegation play-off spot and new
manager Schaefer needs to turn things around quickly to secure a chance
to stay up.
Expect this to be an intense game, because of the proximity and rivalry
between the two cities. Gladbach should be heavy favourites.
Borussia M.Gladbach 2 - 0 FC Cologne
