Watch: Gittens on his red-hot form

Jamie Gittens discusses his blistering form at present after scoring again for Borussia Dortmund on Matchday 13.

Full-time: Borussia Mönchengladbach 1-1 Dortmund

A fiercely contested affair ends all square, it what is a fair result for both teams. While Dortmund perhaps had more chances, they lacked control of the game throughout and conceded plenty of chances themselves in the second-half. Both teams battled hard, and walk away with a point each.

Yet to get going

The visitors haven't started the second-half with the same purpose as Gladbach, and have therefore struggled to get near their final third as of yet.

Stöger hits a free-kick from way out, and it doesn't go too far wide of the post. Gladbach have started brightly.

Kick-off!

Half-time: Borussia Mönchengladbach 0-0 Dortmund

There's been little to separate the two sides, in what was a tense first-half. After a sluggish start, Dortmund had the better of the first-half chances, while Gladbach also went close early on.

Gittens tests Nicolas

He tries his luck from range, forcing a good save from the Gladbach 'keeper.

41'

Levelling out

The tempo of the game has certainly decreased in the last few minutes.

35'

Acrobatics from Gittens

Groß's deflected cross loops up into the air and Gittens attempts and overhead kick; he doesn't connect as he'd like and Nicolas collects.

31'

Scrappy

Dortmund have found their feet and grown into the game, but their passing remains sloppy, creating more turonvers in possession than they'd like.

Edging it

xGoals

The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Dortmund are just ahead in terms of xG at the moment. Both sides have gone close, but there haven't been many chances altogether.

So close!

Reitz's first-time effort from a corner takes a deflection before rolling agonisingly past the post, with no other Gladbach player able to get a toe on it. Gladbach appeal for a handball, but the referee says no penalty.

Sabitzer squanders a great chance!

The ball falls to the Austrian just inside the area after a great run by Gittens. He has time for a touch before choosing his spot, but drags his shot wide of the post.

More on those teams

Gladbach welcome Nico Elvedi back in to the starting XI after a two-month injury absence (thigh), with the only other change from the side that lost in Freiburg last time out coming in the form of midfielder Kevin Stöger, who replaces Robin Hack after a string of substitute appearances in recent weeks. Meanwhile there's just one change from the Dortmund side that drew 1-1 in Der Klassiker against Bayern last weekend, with a fit-again Niklas Süle (ankle) replacing the injured Waldemar Anton (torn muscle fibre) in a first Bundesliga appearance since Matchday 4.

Some good news for Dortmund

Şahin should be able to count on vice-captain Julian Brandt for the trip to Gladbach, the playmaker having recovered from the muscular issue that kept him out of Der Klassiker, while Julian Ryerson and Donyell Malen have both recovered from illness and even Karim Adeyemi - out since mid-September (muscular issue) - is a chance to make the squad. Meanwhile, Germany stopper Waldemar Anton is out (torn muscle fibre), with his place in the centre of defence to be filled by either Emre Can or Niklas Süle.

Gerardo Seoane on facing Dortmund

"We know how dominant Dortmund have been at home, but they've struggled to repeat that away. Playing in front of our fans is what provides us with extra motivation, not the name of our opponents."

Nuri Şahin on facing Gladbach

"The match on Saturday is very important for us. We want to end our inconsistency and get a win against Gladbach."
