Christian Ilzer on facing Gladbach

"I expect opponents who are in the flow and who have found their feet. We have prepared in detail and are looking to implement our plans at a high level out on the pitch. If it turns out to be spectacle - one that goes our way in the end - I have nothing against it, of course."

"Hoffenheim have changed their style of play. They now have more intensity in their long game and are very intense in pressing and counter-pressing. We know that a lot will be asked of us on Saturday. After our last results, we're going into the game with a healthy self-confidence and are confident in our chances."
