Borussia Dortmund vs Borussia Mönchengladbach

Borussia Dortmund have won 17 of their last 18 Bundesliga home games against Borussia Mönchengladbach, including each of their last 10 – BVB have only ever put together a longer winning run at home in the top flight against MSV Duisburg from 1977 to 1998 (12 games). 11 straight defeats away to one club in the Bundesliga would be a first for the Foals (also 10 straight losses at FC Bayern from 1983 to 1991).

42 points from 29 games represents Borussia Dortmund’s worst Bundesliga campaign in 10 years (36 points at this stage in 2014/15). That was also the last season in which Borussia Mönchengladbach (4th) were ahead of BVB (9th) in the table after 29 matchdays.

Although Borussia Mönchengladbach are winless in their last two Bundesliga games (D1, L1), they most recently had more points after 29 games (44) back in 2019/20 (56), also the last season in which they qualified for European football (UEFA Champions League) – the last team to make up a four-point gap on fourth place after 29 games was upcoming opponents Borussia Dortmund in 2020/21.

Borussia Mönchengladbach have collected 13 of a possible 15 points from their last five Bundesliga away games (W4, D1), something that only Bayer 04 Leverkusen have also managed since the start of matchday 20 (also 13). The Foals last put together a run of at least six consecutive Bundesliga away games without defeat from March to September 2022 (7 matches).

Both Borussia Dortmund and Borussia Mönchengladbach have scored 11 headers in the Bundesliga this season, a joint league high together with FC Bayern and SC Freiburg. The Foals have also conceded the joint-fewest headed goals in the division (3, same as Leverkusen; BVB 7).
