Bayern Munich will be aiming to ensure that they remain top of the Bundesliga by beating Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday.
The hosts, meanwhile, must avoid defeat if they are to move back into the top half of the table.
We say: Borussia Monchengladbach 1-3 Bayern Munich
Gladbach have provided Bayern with some stern tests in recent seasons, but they are lacking form and momentum ahead of facing them at Borussia Park on Saturday.
While we expect the likes of Jonas Hofmann and Thuram to cause significant problems in transition and potentially score against their former teammate Sommer, the Bavarians should have enough firepower going the other way to return to Munich with all three points.

Both teams will be aiming to return to winning ways when Wolfsburg host RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
Leipzig were beaten by Union Berlin last weekend, while the Wolves were held by Schalke 04.
We say: Wolfsburg 1-1 RB Leipzig
With both sides struggling for form in recent weeks, we can envisage a share of the spoils in Wolfsburg on Saturday.
Although Leipzig undoubtedly possess more individual quality than their forthcoming opponents do, Kovac's side have become increasingly tough to beat, while they have the advantage of playing without European football this season.

VfL Bochum host Freiburg on Saturday afternoon in a meeting between two Bundesliga managers with contrasting levels of experience.
Thomas Letsch, who was poached by Bochum from Vitesse Arnhem in September for his first managerial role in the Bundesliga, will pit his wits against Christian Streich, now in his 12th year in charge of Freiburg.
We say: VfL Bochum 1-2 Freiburg
Bochum may have enjoyed home comforts of late, but a wider view of their form reveals four defeats in their previous five matches across all competitions and venues.
We are backing Freiburg to end Bochum's winning run on home turf, with Streich calling upon all of his wile and guile to get one over Letsch.

Stuttgart will be aiming to move outside of the automatic relegation places by beating FC Koln in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
Koln, meanwhile, have not conceded in any of their last three games and could move into the top half of the table with a positive result.
We say: Stuttgart 0-0 FC Koln
Koln's matches have been very low on goal-mouth action in recent weeks, while Stuttgart will be desperate to stop the rot and avoid a fourth successive defeat in the Bundesliga.
Labbadia's side will be hoping for a favour from Dortmund against their relegation rivals Hertha on Sunday, with a draw potentially enough to move them into the relegation playoff spot should they receive one. Baumgart is unlikely to be too disappointed if his side can continue their run of clean sheets.

Frankfurt vs. Werder Bremen (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Both teams will be aiming to bounce back from defeat when Eintracht Frankfurt host Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga's Saturday night game.
Frankfurt lost to FC Koln last weekend, while Werder Bremen were defeated by Borussia Dortmund.
We say: Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 Werder Bremen
This should be an entertaining match between two teams who prefer to attack than defend, but Frankfurt should have enough quality to secure all three points with home advantage on their side.
Werder's leaky defence is likely to prove accommodating to the burgeoning presence of Randal Kolo Muani, with himself and Niclas Fullkrug both enjoying growing reputations after enjoying superb individual World Cup campaigns with France and Germany respectively.
