By Tushar Bahl
The Marco Rose derby takes place this weekend as the Borussia Dortmund head coach makes his return to former club Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Another fascinating clash lies in store for us this weekend as Borussia Dortmund make the trip to Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Bundesliga. The Black and Yellows will be aiming to make it five wins in a row, while the Foals will be hoping to lift themselves up the table after a disappointing start to the season. And Marco Rose’s reunion with his former club following his acrimonious summer exit just further adds to the intrigue of the game.

It has been a difficult start to life after Marco Rose for Borussia Mönchengladbach, who have won just one of their opening five games in the Bundesliga. Gladbach find themselves in 16th place in the league table. And another defeat on Saturday would spell disaster for Adi Hütter’s side, who will have ambitions of finishing in the top six this season.
Gladbach do not have the best of recent records against Borussia Dortmund, but they did manage to claim the three points the last time these two sides met in the Bundesliga.
