B. Monchengladbach vs Dortmund

In terms of explosiveness and tension, the DFB Cup quarter-finals on Tuesday evening between Borussia Mönchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund cannot be surpassed. The main reason for this is of course Marco Rose’s personality. The current foal coach announced about two weeks ago that he will be on the sidelines for BVB from summer onwards, which has resulted in a huge shit storm from the Gladbach fan base. His leave of absence was vehemently demanded.

The Leipzig-born will undoubtedly take center stage in the match against his future employer, which by no means makes the task any easier for the eleven from the Lower Rhine, who have recently fluctuated anyway. The best bookmakers also see the guests as favorites and offer lower odds on away success after regular time between Gladbach and Dortmund.

Until a few weeks ago, the world in Monchengladbach was almost perfect. In the Bundesliga, the foals were well on their way to getting their ticket for international business again. In addition, the anticipation for the round of 16 in the Champions League against Manchester City was unbroken. By the way, the Rhinelander played their way into the last eight in the DFB Cup and danced promisingly at three weddings.

In the meantime, however, many things have turned negative for the former German master. In the league, VfL has been waiting for a win for five games and has dropped to ninth place in the Bundesliga table. The gap to the Europa League places is four points. In addition, the chances of a sensational coup in the premier class against the Sky Blues are only theoretical. Now the DFB Cup is also threatened with elimination.

With the opponent from Dortmund, the form curve is currently exactly the opposite. After a few problems in January, the black and yellow seem to have recovered. Especially with the 3-2 success in the Champions League first leg of the first knockout round in Seville, the Borussia were able to gain a lot of self-confidence. This was followed by a never-endangered derby three against indisposed Schalke players as well as a well-deserved 3-0 win over Bielefeld at the weekend.

Admittedly, a different caliber is now waiting for the team of coach Edi Terzic with the foals, but one has the impression that the joy of playing, the self-image and also the belief in one’s own strength has returned. If the outstanding individualists like Sancho, Dahoud, Guerreiro or Haaland confirm their very good form, there are many indications on Tuesday that between Gladbach and Dortmund the odds on BVB’s progress are paying off.
