Friday's Bundesliga Preview: Gladbach Host Hamburg

Michael Frontzeck's Gladbach side are sinking faster than they can swim. They've lost their last four Bundesliga matches in a row, and they've only managed to pick up ten points after sixteen matches. That's got relegation written all over it for me. It's crazy that they're playing so poorly with the kind of squad they […]
