Reeling team Borussia Monchengladbach (4-7-4, 16 points) will try to win their second game in the three rounds as they clash with struggling squad VfL Wolfsburg (3-8-4, 13 points) in a 2016-2017 Bundesliga season match on Dec. 20, Tuesday at the Stadion im Borussia-Park.
Start Time and Streaming Info
The game starts at 2:00 p.m. ET. It can be viewed live online thru FuboTV.
Borussia Monchengladbach has been winless in five of their last six matches to drop to the 13th spot in the German top flight table, only four points above the bottom three relegation zone.
Die Fohlen was able to snap a four-game winless slide with a win over Mainz on Dec. 11 but was defeated once again by lowly team Augsburg, 0-1, on the road at the SGL Arena last Saturday, via ESPN.
Augsburg defender Martin Hinteregger provided the lone goal of the match for the hosts, handing head coach André Schubert's squad their fourth defeat in the last six rounds of competitions, increasing the pressure on the German mentor.
Augsburg has sacked former manager Dirk Schuster last week and was replaced by interim coach Manuel Baum and a few more losses for Gladbach could mean the end of Schubert's reign with the team.
Meanwhile, perennial contenders Wolfsburg snapped a four-game winless skid as the team nipped contending squad Eintracht Frankfurt, 1-0, at their home field of Volkswagen Arena last Saturday, the Bundesliga's official website reported.
Dutch defender Jeffrey Bruma headed the winning goal in the 33rd minute of the contest for head coach Valérien Ismaël's side off a pass from teammate Julian Draxler after a corner kick for the Wolves.
Bruma netted his first goal in the German top flight since March 2013. It was also his first goal in all competitions since April 2015.
It was only the third win of the season for Wolfsburg as the team is now settled in the 15th spot in the 18-team league table, only one point above the bottom three relegation area.
