BORUSSIA MONCHENGLADBACH v BORUSSIA DORTMUNDFootball : Germany : BundesligaSunday, 24th February 2013 - Kickoff 2:30pm GMT
This may look a walkover for Dortmund based on that last win, and the fact they won the reverse 5-0 at home. The last 2 meetings have been won 5-0 and 2-0, but you'll notice the last 2 trips here have seen them only draw 1-1 and lose 1-0. Monchengladbach are going to give them a fight here.
There is of course the concern that Dortmund will be distracted with the Champions League. They drew 2-2 at Donestsk but before that tie were so distracted they had a man sent off at home and lost to Hamburg 4-1!! They won't lose like that here, but you have to wonder where their heads will be before a massive game against Shakhtar.
Monchengladbach have won their last 3 home games, so won't roll over at all, especially since they will badly want revenge for that 5-0 loss, their heaviest defeat of the season. The worry is their defence, which has allowed 33 goals through 22 games, ruining the good work done by the offence, which has scored 31. That 33 goals is already more than they conceded last season, but then Dortmund don't exactly come here with a brilliant defence, as the 26 they have shipped is also already more than last season's total allowed.
