Facts
Borussia looking to build on excellent run against the other Borussia
Recent meetings between the two Borussias have been goal-laden and spectacular, often ending well for the Black & Yellows. Can BVB extend their run? We bring you the facts ahead of the 92nd Bundesliga meeting between these two tradition-steeped clubs in Gladbach on Sunday.
Match facts
- The last meeting between the two sides marked the first time in Bundesliga history that one has beaten the other five times in a row: BVB have won every match since the start of the 2015/16 season – scoring at least three per game and 20 in total!
- There has always been at least one goal in each of the last 41 meetings. The last goalless draw came at the Bökelberg on 17 April 1994.
- Only against Frankfurt do BVB have as many victories after being 1-0 down as they do against Mönchengladbach. They have beaten both sides nine times after conceding first.
- BVB have taken the lead in Mönchengladbach 17 times and only lost one of those matches (April 1991). Since then Dortmund have never lost a game against Mönchengladbach, home or away, in which they scored first.
Mönchengladbach facts
- Mönchengladbach have lost their last three league games without scoring a single goal.
- VfL have only kept one clean sheet in their last 14 matches – in a 2-0 victory over Augsburg on 20 January 2018.
Dortmund facts
- Dortmund are unbeaten in seven Bundesliga matches. Their last defeat was by a 2-1 scoreline, against Werder Bremen, on 9 December 2017.
- No team has suffered fewer away defeats than BVB, who have only been beaten twice on their travels this season (in Hanover and Stuttgart). (br)
