Wolfsburg will be desperate to end a run of five matches without a league win when they host RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
The visitors need a positive result to ensure that they remain in the Champions League qualification places.
Gladbach scored twice either side of half time to thrash their opponents and leapfrog them in the table, with Wolfsburg blanking in front of goal for only the second time this season. Only Union Berlin have a poorer record from the last five matches across the Bundesliga.
However, Kovac's side did defeat Leipzig 1-0 in the DFB-Pokal last month, which ironically set up another away trip to Monchengladbach at the last-16 stage next month. The former Bayern Munich boss will need a fresh tactical blueprint if they are to remain on course to secure the club's second German Cup triumph.
In the meantime, though, he will be demanding much more from his players against Leipzig as they aim to move back into the top half of the table. A repeat scoreline from their recent cup meeting against them would do wonders for the Wolves' confidence and outlook on the rest of the season.
