Borussia Dortmund vs Borussia Monchengladbach prediction, preview, team news and more | Bundesliga 2021-22
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.

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
