Both clubs enter the weekend in the bottom half and will look to close the gap on the European places before the winter break starts next week.

Gerardo Seoane's side became the first in 17 matches to lose against Union Berlin, and they were beaten convincingly, going 3-0 down before Alassane Plea's late consolation.

It was yet another result which contributes to a frustrating start, but they have notably improved since winning just one of their opening eight Bundesliga games.

Gladbach have their home form to thank for that, as they are on their best home run in over four years, winning five matches in a row here.

It was two wins at Borussia-Park which advanced them through the Pokal, beating Heidenheim and Wolfsburg, two sides they have also beaten in the league so far this season.
