Preview: Borussia Mönchengladbach vs Wolfsburg

Borussia Mönchengladbach will face off against Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga on November 10th at 19:30 UTC.

The two sides last met 7 months ago when Borussia Mönchengladbach emerged victorious by a 2-0 scoreline. Mönchengladbach enters this match coming off a draw against SC Freiburg last Saturday, extending their unbeaten run to 3 games. However, their defense has been leaking goals for 12 straight matches now, so this contest provides an opportunity to halt that streak with a win if they can shore up their back line issues.

Meanwhile, Wolfsburg is riding a 2-game unbeaten streak after equalizing with Werder Bremen last Sunday. But they’ve conceded in 5 consecutive away fixtures, placing added psychological strain on the squad.
