The relegation places are far from settled in the Bundesliga this season and the final preview of the weekend involves two teams in the bottom half of the table.
The match between Wolfsburg and Borussia Monchengladbach will be played on the 7th of April at the Volkswagen Arena.
The hosts begin the weekend in 14th place on 28 points while the visitors are one place above them but on the same number of points.
Wolfsburg come into the game on the back of a good 2-0 win at Werder Bremen last weekend in the Bundesliga.
With the match approaching halftime, Werder Bremen had a man sent off and Wolfsburg took advantage to score in the 45th minute.
Wolfsburg extended their advantage in the 84th minute despite also being down to 10 players.
The win at Werder Bremen was the first victory for Wolfsburg in 11 Bundesliga matches.
They have been sliding down the table and Wolfsburg have suffered defeats against Union Berlin and Bayer Leverkusen away plus Stuttgart and Augsburg at home.
There have also been draws against FC Cologne, Hoffenheim, and Borussia Dortmund at home plus Mainz, Heidenheim, and Eintracht Frankfurt away.
The stats show Wolfsburg have failed to win any of their 7 most recent home Bundesliga games.
They have seen both teams score in each of their last 6 home league fixtures and over 2.5 goals in 3 of their last 4 on home soil.
Borussia Monchengladbach make the trip to the Volkswagen Arena having lost 3-0 at home against Freiburg in the Bundesliga last weekend.
The visitors opened the scoring in the 7th minute to lead 1-0 at the interval.
Into the second half and Freiburg doubled their advantage in the 47th minute and scored their third goal 10 minutes later.
The defeat to Freiburg means Borussia Monchengladbach have failed to win any of their last 5 competitive fixtures in all competitions.
There was a 2-1 loss at Saarbrücken in the DFB Pokal and draws against Mainz and Heidenheim away plus FC Cologne at home in the Bundesliga.
Trends show Borussia Monchengladbach have failed to win any of their last 10 away Bundesliga matches.
However, they have picked up a point in 3 of their 5 most recent away trips in the league and have seen both teams score in 3 of their last 4 Bundesliga games on the road.
Team news: Wolfsburg are without the suspended duo of Maxence Lacroix and Cedric Zesiger. Koen Casteels and Lukas Nmecha are both injured.
Borussia Monchengladbach travel without Manu Koné, who has a hamstring injury. There are also doubts over the fitness of Nico Elvedi.
Despite currently being 8 points clear of the relegation playoff place, the form of both teams means they are moving in the wrong direction.
This should be a close game, with both teams scoring. Borussia Monchengladbach have been competitive in their last 2 away games and could leave with a point.
