Gladbach have to recover from a disappointing performance in a 3-1 defeat at Düsseldorf last weekend. They dropped out of the Champions League places as a result and sporting director Max Eberl announced that the club will part ways with manager Dieter Hecking at the end of the season.
Bremen have earned three straight Bundesliga wins and picked up a 2-0 victory at Schalke in the DFB-Pokal on Wednesday night. After a 10-match unbeaten run in the league, they are back in the race for a European spot.
Expect this to be an intense game with several chances at both ends of the pitch, which Bremen might have a chance to edge in current form.
