Borussia Moenchengladbach continues to seek its first statement win of the 2024-25 Bundesliga campaign and Saturday’s trip to RB Leipzig presents another golden opportunity.
Joe Scally and his Gladbach teammates will face the current second place side in their final match before the November international break. Scally has continued to play a large role in the squad again this fall, making nine league starts and seeing time at both left and right back. The U.S. men’s national team fullback has provided stability in the back of Gerardo Seoane’s squad, helping Gladbach to a 4-1-4 record in Bundesliga play.
Scally’s role with the USMNT remains very bright going forward and another league start on Saturday should provide added confidence for the 21-year-old.
In England, Tyler Adams continues his current role with AFC Bournemouth. Haji Wright and Brenden Aaronson headline the EFL Championship contingent.
In Spain, Johnny Cardoso and Real Betis host Celta Vigo.
In France, Tanner Tessmann and Lyon face Saint-Etienne. Caleb Wiley seeks to make his first start since returning from injury.
Elsewhere, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Celtic face Kilmarnock in SPFL play. Bryan Reynolds and Westerlo take on Sporting Charleroi. Frankie Amaya and Alex Zendejas face off in Liga MX play. Paxten Aaronson and FC Utrecht aim to keep their strong league run going against Heracles.
