Confirmed Lineups: Werder Bremen vs. Borussia Mönchengladbach

Here are the lineups for the matchday 20 Bundesliga fixture between Werder Bremen and Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Werder Bremen look to avoid a tenth successive Bundesliga game without a win when they host Borussia Mönchengladbach in one of the early Saturday fixtures. The visitors are also in poor form as they only won once from the last six matchdays.

Samuel Mbangula’s return to the starting lineup is the big news for Werder Bremen after his numerous excellent performances off the bench. Borussia Mönchengladbach’s center-back Fabio Chiarodia gets his first start since getting subbed off in the first half of the 6-4 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt.

Here are the lineups for the game at Weserstadion between the two teams in the lower half of the Bundesliga standings.
