Red Bull Arena - Leipzig
Borussia Mönchengladbach average just 0.75 points per Bundesliga game against RB Leipzig, their worst return against any side. Leipzig have won each of the last three meetings without conceding a single goal, and they have never lost at home to the Foals in the top flight (W5, D3).
The 2-1 defeat at Borussia Dortmund on matchday 9 ended RB Leipzig’s club record 19-game unbeaten run in the Bundesliga (W13, D6). With 20 points from nine games, they have the exact same record they had at this stage of last season (W6, D2, L1) – they have only ever been better off in 2016/17 (21 points).
Borussia Mönchengladbach are unbeaten in three Bundesliga games and have claimed seven of a possible nine points (W2, D1). This is their best three-game sequence in a year (also 7 points from 3 games in October/November 2023). However, the Foals still haven’t won consecutive Bundesliga matches within one season since March 2022.
RB Leipzig are on an 11-game unbeaten run at home in the Bundesliga since losing 3-2 to Bayer 04 Leverkusen on 20th January 2024 (W8, D3) – only VfB Stuttgart are on a longer undefeated streak at home (16 games). Leipzig have conceded just three goals in these 11 matches, recording eight clean sheets.
Despite letting in three goals across their last two league games, RB Leipzig still have the best defence in the Bundesliga this season with five goals conceded – a new club record at this stage of a top-flight campaign. The last team to have let in as few goals after nine matchdays was VfL Wolfsburg in 2019/20 (also 5).
