#TSGBMG: Match reaction

• BORUSSIA-PARK is nearly sold out ahead of Sunday’s match against the Berliners.

Head-to-head record:

• This will be the eighth Bundesliga encounter between the sides. Union have won four of these matches, with Borussia winning once in May 2020 (4-1). The remaining two fixtures ended in a draw.
• Borussia suffered a 2-1 defeat the last time these two sides met in Berlin. Danilho Doekhi headed in the winning goal for FCU in the seventh minute of second-half injury time.
• The first competitive match between the sides took place on 6th February 2001 in the semi-finals of the DFB-Pokal. Then third-tier FCU won on penalties (2-2 a.e.t.) against Borussia, who were playing in the second division at the time.

The number of the game: 8 – presented by Interwetten:

• Borussia and Union have an identical record from their last eight league games: W2, D4, L2. They have also both scored eight goals in this timeframe.

• Borussia are unbeaten in their last four Bundesliga games (W1, D3) – their longest run without defeat this season.
• Borussia let a lead slip in Frankfurt for the seventh time this season, something only Augsburg have had happen more often (8).
• Mönchengladbach are unbeaten in their last five Bundesliga home games (W2, D3).
