After Borussia Mönchengladbach concluded Champions League campaign in Barcelona midweek, coach Andre Schubert may rotate things round a little. Further options for the starting line-up could be Fabian Johnson and Tobias Strobl. Alternatively, Schubert may revert to a back-four and Andre Hahn may return up front.


1. FSV Mainz 05 also ended their European adventure midweek and have almost a full squad to choose from as they return their focus to the bread and butter of the Bundesliga. The only notable absentee is striker Jhon Cordoba, who is sitting out a suspension. After his goalscoring Bundesliga debut in Berlin, youngster Aaron Seydel could get the nod to replace him, meaning coach Martin Schmidt would not have to tinker with his tactics and formation.
