Confirmed Lineups: VfB Stuttgart vs. Borussia Mönchengladbach

Borussia Mönchengladbach look to avoid breaking the record for the worst Bundesliga Bundesliga start when they face Stuttgart in the opening fixture of matchday 8. The visitors already tied that record last week,  while Stuttgart suffered a late defeat at HSV.

Sebastian Hoeneß once again rotated his side after their hard-fought draw against Atletico Madrid in midweek, while Alexander Blessin faced another blow as Kevin Diks joined the long list of absentees for personal reasons.

Here are the starting lineups for the game at MHP Arena.
