In a meeting between the bottom two teams in the form table over the past five matches, VfL Wolfsburg face Borussia Mönchengladbach away in their final game of the season on Saturday. The Green-and-Whites have drawn two and lost three of their last five fixtures, while Borussia have taken only one point in that period.
