Problem: Attack blunt, defence leaking goals.

Momentum: Only 1 defeat in their last 5 league outings.
Toppmöller’s team arrive with tactical clarity and sharper execution.
Gladbach: Will rely on defensive discipline and rare counterattacks. Their lack of scoring power is a major handicap.

Key Duel: Weigl vs Skhiri — whoever controls the rhythm in the middle dictates the narrative.
Expected Result: Borussia M’gladbach 0–2 Eintracht Frankfurt
Frankfurt is superior in form, mentality, and structure.
Gladbach’s desperation may bring intensity, but execution remains too weak.

Gladbach: A must-fight battle to escape early relegation panic. Failure here deepens the crisis.
Frankfurt: A chance to solidify their top-6 credentials and close the gap to the Champions League places.
The verdict: Frankfurt has the weapons, Gladbach the fears. Expect the Eagles to soar while Die Fohlen continue to stumble.
