BORUSSIA-PARK - Mönchengladbach
VfL Wolfsburg recorded their joint-biggest win in the Bundesliga this season in the reverse fixture against Borussia Mönchengladbach (5-1 H, won by the same scoreline in Leipzig on MD12) – the Wolves could now do a league double over the Foals for the first time since 2009/10.
VfL Wolfsburg are winless in their last nine Bundesliga games (D3, L6), the longest ongoing wait in the league and the Wolves’ longest spell without victory since between December 2023 and March 2024 (11 games). Wolfsburg are also without a clean sheet in their last 12 Bundesliga matches (longest wait since a 20-game spell in 2014), currently the worst run in the league.
Borussia Mönchengladbach are on a six-game winless run (D2, L4) – only opponents VfL Wolfsburg (9 games) and VfL Bochum (8) have been waiting longer for a Bundesliga win. The Foals have managed to take all three points on matchday 34 in four of their last five seasons (lost 4-0 in Stuttgart in 2023/24).
VfL Wolfsburg have failed to win on matchday 34 in each of the last five Bundesliga seasons (D1, L4 – all at home). They have lost their last away game of the season in each of the last two campaigns, with their last win in their final away fixture coming in 2021/22 in Cologne under Florian Kohfeldt (1-0).
VfL Wolfsburg have picked up just 13 points in the second half of the season – only VfL Bochum have been worse (11). If the Wolves lose on the final day in Mönchengladbach, this would be the worst-ever second half of a Bundesliga season in their history (previously 14 points in 2017/18).
