Fortuna Sittard vs Borussia Monchengladbach friendly: Team news, predicted lineups and live stream
Borussia Monchengladbach continue their pre-season preparations with a friendly against Dutch Eredivisie side Fortuna Sittard on Thursday at 12pm (UK time).
Gladbach endured a miserable 2023/24 season, finishing 14th in the Bundesliga, just a single point above the relegation playoff spot with only seven wins from 34 matches. That sort of standard won’t be tolerated long at such a historic club, so it’s important they build momentum in these friendlies ahead of their DFB-Pokal match against Erzgebirge Aue and their league opener against champions Bayer Leverkusen — who haven’t lost a domestic match since May 2023.
Die Fohlen made a winning start to their summer on Saturday with a 2-0 victory over German Regionalliga West side FC Wegberg-Beeck.
As for Sittard, they’ve been settled in mid-table in the Eredivisie for some time now, with 10th last season their best return since the 1990s. Danny Buijs’ men beat Helmond Sport 5-2 in their opening friendly of the summer before suffering a 3-0 loss to Stuttgart last time out.

Fortuna Sittard vs Borussia Monchengladbach team news
Gladbach still have a host of friendlies to play before they begin the new season, so expect some experimentation and rotation with this line-up, although some players like Florian Neuhaus and Julian Weigl will be pushing for starts.
Fortuna Sittard will likely name something closer to their strongest XI, with this one of just two more matches before they kick off the Eredivisie campaign away at Go Ahead Eagles.
