Borussia Monchengladbach sit bottom of the Bundesliga as they prepare for Friday's trip to the MHPArena to take on Stuttgart.
It is six Bundesliga defeats in a row for Monchengladbach, who are five points from safety and have failed to pick up after bringing in Alexander Blessin for the sacked Eugen Polanski.
Stuttgart have also struggled domestically, collecting six points from a possible 18, but they have made a strong start to the league phase of the UEFA Champions League and will feel confident of claiming the spoils.

Stuttgart v Borussia Monchengladbach Prediction
Best Bet: Stuttgart to win to nil @ 2/1
Already on to their second permanent manager of the season, life is not getting any easier for Monchengladbach and they are in dire straits at the bottom of the table on zero points.
Six defeats in a row have left the club scrambling early in the campaign and the defensive frailties are a huge concern, as their tally of 20 goals conceded is the worst in the division.
Just four teams have scored fewer than Monchengladbach's eight goals and they have failed to net in two of their last three away matches, at RB Leipzig and Freiburg.
Improvement is needed quickly but that is unlikely to come when heading to Stuttgart, who battled to a 1-1 draw against Atletico de Madrid on Tuesday to extend their unbeaten start to the UEFA Champions League.
It has been more of a struggle domestically for Stuttgart, who have six points from a possible 18, but they are playing considerably better than Monchengladbach heading into this contest.
Defensively, Stuttgart have picked up of late with two clean sheets in their last four outings and a win to nil provides good value.
Alternative Bet: Lukas Ullrich to commit 2+ fouls @ 5/6
Monchengladbach's defence has been under severe pressure and left-back Lukas Ullrich has struggled to keep out of the referee's view.
The German has committed at least two fouls in four of his last five appearances and given his side are expected to be on the back foot for large periods of this contest, he looks capable of being pulled up another couple of times.
Stuttgart v Borussia Monchengladbach Bet Builder Tip
Stuttgart to win
Josha Vagnoman 1+ shots on target
Deniz Undav anytime goalscorer
Philipp Sander 3+ fouls committed
Pays 11/1
Stuttgart have won two of the last three home meetings against Monchengladbach and they can claim another three points against the struggling visitors.
Josha Vagnoman has registered a shot on target in six of his eight starts for Stuttgart and he can test the goalkeeper out once again.
Averaging more than three shots per game in his last six starts, Deniz Undav scored his first goal of the season three games ago and he can add to his tally against a fragile Monchengladbach defence.
Philipp Sander has committed two or more fouls in four of his last six appearances for Monchengladbach and he will likely be in the thick of the action again.
