Lucien Favre: 'I don't fear Stuttgart'

Borussia Monchengladbach coach Lucien Favre has insisted that he does not fear coming up against any side in the Bundesliga.

Gladbach travel to Stuttgart on Friday night and Favre said that he was not planning to alter his tactics to counter the home side's attacking threat.

"I always use the same tactics, whether we're at home or away," he told Bundesliga.com. "I don't fear any opponents.

"They've got a very good squad with many internationals on the field and also on the bench. They didn't start the season well, but they've picked up good results since. We were unlucky to lose there last year, 2-1 through an own goal, but we want to do better this time."

Gladbach are fourth in the Bundesliga, while Stuttgart are eighth.
