It's the Battle of the Borussias, and this fixture has a storied history that once saw both sides trading blows as equals. In recent years, however, Dortmund have established clear dominance, and Niko Kovač's men are looking to tighten their grip on second place in the Bundesliga table. For Gladbach, the stakes are equally high—they're hovering just above the packed relegation battle zone and need a result to breathe easier.

With kickoff just an hour away, the tension is palpable. Will Dortmund's superior form prevail, or can Gladbach pull off a shock and reignite their season? Here are the confirmed lineups for what promises to be a compelling contest.

Borussia Mönchengladbach: Nicolas - Sander, Elvedi, Chiarodia - Scally, Reitz, Engelhardt, Stöger, Mohya - Honorat, Tabaković
