We're going to have five minutes of time added on at the end of this game.

The ball is rolling again in Gladbach with hail coming down to add to the derby night feel.

Just the one minute of added time at the end of the first half.

Just two shots on target in this game so far, one for each side, and each of them producing goals in the first half. Chances on goal have been few and far between since then in what has been a very even game.

We're underway at Borussia-Park for the 92nd meeting between the Rhine rivals.

Gisdol's side have recorded two wins from their last three - as many three-point hauls as across their previous 26.

With four wins and two draws, Gladbach are - along with Eintracht Frankfurt - the only unbeaten Bundesliga team in 2021.

The Foals have scored a league-high 16 of their 36 Bundesliga goals in 2020/21 from set-pieces (44 percent) despite Marco Rose admitting that his side do not train them. Cologne are next on the list with seven of 18 (39 percent).

Cologne have won 25 of the 91 Bundesliga derbies against Gladbach, losing 51. The Billy Goats have lost to the Foals more than any other team in the Bundesliga.

Goalkeeper Sommer was the only first-choice player rested in midweek, with Sippel standing in, but Thuram and Hofmann lead a laundry list of players who have been rotated this time with next Sunday's trip to fellow European aspirants Wolfsburg on the horizon. Wolf, Wendt and Zakaria are among those to come in.

Ehizibue is preferred to Schmitz at right-back. Coach Gisdol was optimistic about how many players he would have at his disposal, although Bornauw's back trouble has not been so easily dismissed, while Hector has a muscle strain. Meyer is pushing for a Cologne debut from the bench with Rexhbecaj and Skhiri starting in midfield.

Sommer - Lainer, Ginter, Jantschke, Wendt - Zakaria, Neuhaus - H. Wolf, Stindl (c), Herrmann- Embolo

Sippel, Kramer, Thuram, Plea, Beyer, Lazaro, Hofmann, Bensebaini, Elvedi

T. Horn (c) - Mere, Czichos, Cestic - Ehizibue, Skhiri, Özcan, Jakobs - Rexhbecaj - Duda, Dennis

Zieler, Schmitz, Katterbach, Arokodare, Meyer, Limnios, J. Horn, Drexler, Thielmann

Markus Gisdol's side picked up a vital win against Bielefeld last week, thanks in large part to a brace from midfielder Marius Wolf. However, he is a major doubt with an ankle injury this time, while influential captain Jonas Hector is struggling with muscular complaints that could force him to sit this one out. That could provide an opportunity for new signing Max Meyer to come in from the start, however.

Cologne may be near the foot of the table, but they have done well in recent weeks. After starting 2021 with back-to-back defeats to Augsburg and Freiburg, they have taken seven of the last available 12 points thanks to victories over fellow strugglers Schalke and Bielefeld, while they also drew with Hertha Berlin. Gladbach are unbeaten in six league outings this year, drawing two and winning four - including beating both Bayern and Dortmund.

The Foals have won 51 of the 91 Bundesliga meetings between these teams, more than double Cologne's tally (25). Gladbach have taken maximum points in each of the last three games against the Billy Goats, including a 3-1 away win on Matchday 3 in October last year.

As well as enjoying local bragging rights with victory in this Rhine derby, there is plenty on the line for both teams. Gladbach are currently seventh in the standings, just three points off the top four prior to Matchday 20. They can ill afford any slip-up as they pursue a Champions League spot, especially with Wolfsburg and Frankfurt in the hunt this season too. For Cologne, meanwhile, it is all about survival. Just one point ahead of 16th-placed Bielefeld, they need to put a run of results together to avoid a relegation battle.
