Reeling team Eintracht Frankfurt (2-3-3, 9 points) will play fast-rising Borussia Monchengladbach (3-5-0, 9 points) at the Commerzbank-Arena on October 17, Saturday as the 2015-2016 Bundesliga season continues.

Die Adler had been winless in their last four games after going on a short two-game winning run prior. Their most recent outing was a 0-2 loss to newly-promoted club Ingolstadt 04 at the Audi-Sportpark last October 3, as per SkySports.

Armin Veh's men gave up two second half goals to Die Schanzer courtesy of midfielders Pascal Gross and Stefan Lex at the 78th and 84th minutes and was unable to bounce back from the deficit until full time.

Frankfurt hopes to go back in winning form against hot team Die Borussen this weekend.

The Foals are on the rise right now after opening the season with a five-game losing streak as interim head coach André Schubert and his boys managed to stick together three consecutive victories.

Their last match was a 2-0 dismantling of last season's runners-up, VfL Wolfsburg, at the Stadion im Borussia-Park also on October 3, via BBC Sport.

Norwegian midfielder Håvard Nordtveit and Guinean winger Ibrahima Traoré scored late goals each to turn back Die Wölfe's challenge and secure another three points in the overall standings.

Monchengladbach will look to extend their winning run to four against the struggling Launische Diva on the road.

Prediction: A tough 1-0 victory for Borussia Monchengladbach.

Eintracht Frankfurt starting lineup (4-1-2-1-2 formation): Hradecky; Ignjovski, Zambrano, Russ, Oczipka; Reinartz; Hasebe, Stendera; Meier; Aigner, Castaignos

Borussia Monchengladbach starting lineup (4-4-2 formation): Sippel; Korb, Christensen, Dominguez, Wendt; Traore, Dahoud, Xhaka, Johson; Stindl, Raffael
