BORUSSIA-PARK - Mönchengladbach
Borussia Mönchengladbach and FC St. Pauli meet in the Bundesliga for the first time since the 2010/11 season, when the Kiezkicker won both match-ups (2-1 A, 3-1 H). The Foals are without a victory in their last five top-flight home games against St. Pauli (D3, L2) – they’ve only been waiting longer for a home win against Bayer Leverkusen (6 games).
FC St. Pauli have just eight points after 10 games, their joint second worst start to a Bundesliga season – they’ve only been worse off in 2001/02 (7). FCSP failed to score last time out for already the sixth time this term, a league high and a negative record for them after 10 top-flight matches (previously no more than 4).
Borussia Mönchengladbach haven’t lost any of their last four Bundesliga games, their best run since February/March (also 4) – they haven’t gone longer unbeaten under Gerardo Seoane. Gladbach’s 0-0 draw in Leipzig last time out gave them their third clean sheet in the top flight this season, almost matching their tally of four from the whole of 2023/24.
FC St. Pauli have won two of their last three Bundesliga games on the road (L1), including beating TSG Hoffenheim 2-0 in their most recent away fixture. A second straight away win would equal their top-flight record last achieved in autumn 2010 (including a 2-1 win at Gladbach).
Borussia Mönchengladbach have won their last three Bundesliga home games, having previously failed to win back-to-back home matches in the league in 2024. The last time the Foals celebrated four consecutive wins at Borussia-Park within a single league season was between September 2019 and January 2020 (8).
