Berlin (dpa) - A striker in top form, a youngster with problems, a returnee with emotions and a young coach under pressure: four games, four heads to watch out for in the Tuesday games of the Bundesliga.

Borussia Mönchengladbach - Werder Bremen (6.30 p.m.)

LARS STINDL: Idea generator, preparer and goalscorer - the midfielder is currently in top form and is probably playing his best season in the foal jersey.

After his gala at 3-2 over FC Bayern, the 32-year-old was also one of the main actors in the annoying 2-2 in Stuttgart with an assist and a converted penalty.

It seems only logical that calls for a nomination for the DFB-Elf are loud.

He could collect more points against his favorite opponent Bremen: he only scored seven league goals against Werder.
