Bundesliga heavyweights Borussia Monchengladbach will warm up for the new season with a DFB Pokal clash away to third tier side FC Kaiserslautern on Monday. Last season wasn’t the best for Kaiserslautern, and they were only saved from relegation by being two points better than the 17th placed team in the third tier. This season they hope for a better run, but their start hasn’t been good. They are two games into the new season but still struggling, with no win and no goals so far. They opened with a draw and head here straight from a loss to Meppen while in their last four matches they have one win

As for Monchengladbach, new manager Adi Hutter officially starts his reign after replacing Marco Rose who left for Borussia Dortmund. By their standards, Monchengladbach had a poor campaign last season, and as a result are out of European football this term after dropping out of the top five for the first time in two seasons. Monchengladbach however coped well in preseason and they head here with three straight wins, among them one over Bayern Munich. They have scored in each of their last five matches, three times scoring two goals, while they have three clean sheets. A game against Bayern Munich follows after this as they start the Bundesliga season and opening with a win here will be key to their confidence.
