Frank Schmidt on facing Gladbach

"Gladbach are not safe yet, but have built a bit of a cushion on the teams below them with their recent results. They don't just play possession football, but also play long balls. And after two straight home wins to-nil, they'll be brimming with confidence. We just need to play how we did in the second half against Leverkusen - then we'll pick up points."

Eugen Polanski on facing Heidenheim

"We're not talking about facing the team at the bottom of the table, we're talking about fighting for three important points against a Bundesliga side with clear strengths and quality. Heidenheim showed a very strong reaction against Leverkusen, coming back from 2-0 down to take a point. That was an impressive performance. They want to keep proving themselves and they never give up. It will be an extremely difficult game for us, but we're ready."

Tabaković scores crucial goal

The Gladbach forward scored the crucial equaliser against Italy in the 2026 FIA World Cup play-off finals on Tuesday to take the tie into extra time before converting his penalty in the shoot-out as Bosnia and Herzegovina booked their place at the summer showdown.

Foals eye crucial three points

This is a hugely important game for Gladbach, who went seven games without a win earlier this year but have managed to drag themselves out of trouble in recent weeks. Eric Martel's late equaliser denied the Foals a third victory in four games last time out, but Borussia will be determined to make amends at home to Heidenheim.

Time running out for Heidenheim

With only three league wins all season, Heidenheim face an uphill battle to preserve their top-flight status for another campaign. They have not tasted victory since defeating Freiburg 2-1 on 6 December. That was 15 matches ago.
