RB Leipzig wants to close the gap on Bayern

RB Leipzig will be without injured international Assan Ouédraogo for their Bundesliga match at Borussia Mönchengladbach today (20:30/Sky). Nevertheless, the Saxons will be looking to close the gap on leaders Bayern Munich to three points, at least overnight. However, this will require a win at the Foals, who have won four competitive games in a row under new coach Eugen Polanski. In addition to Ouédraogo, coach Ole Werner is without Romulo, El Chadaille Bithsiabu, Benjamin Henrichs and Kevin Kampl. Xaver Schlager could move into the starting eleven.
