Monchengladbach hit lowly Hastedt 11 – 1 away from home with Leverkusen, also playing away, picking a 1 – 0 win over CfR Pforzheim. Monchengladbach’s =10.5ptRaffael, Belgian winger Thorgan Hazard, and new striker Alassane Plea all scored hat-tricks in the huge cup win and they will be hoping to carry the form to this game against a tougher opponent with Dieter Hecking expected to start the three in the clash. Leverkusen were not as sparkling as Monchengladbach in the opening game of the season, only winning by a penalty goal and after losing first choice keeper Bernd Leno to Arsenal, reserve keeper =10.5ptRamazan Ozcan is expected to make his second start in two years at the club. Leverkusen have beaten Monchengladbach in the last three meetings, including a home and away double last season, but what will really stick in the minds of Monchengladbach players is the second half comeback that ended in a 5 – 1 drubbing at this same venue the last time Leverkusen toured for a league match. Monchengladbach will be keen to get back to winning ways against Leverkusen and given their strong form at home last season, we have reason to feel they can do this. Monchengladbach won nine, lost four and drew four at home last season in Bundesliga, and one of the defeats came against Leverkusen, who were at the time on a great run. This time Leverkusen head there with five wins in the last 10 away matches and they failed to score in five of their last eight league matches last term while Monchengladbach had a strong showing in their last five home matches in the league last term, going five unbeaten and scoring two or more in a run that saw them net 13 times in five home matches.
