For the last time in 2025, Borussia Dortmund will play a Bundesliga match. On Friday evening (December 19, 8:30 p.m.), their namesakes from Mönchengladbach will be the guests.

The duel between the two West German clubs has taken place 106 times in the Bundesliga so far. With 45 wins to 32 and 29 draws, as well as a goal difference of 195:168, BVB has often been the more successful team. In the DFB Cup, Dortmund and Gladbach have faced each other four times to date. The record in this knockout competition is balanced at 2:2 wins.

The record in the last 22 direct encounters is even more clear-cut. The “Fohlenelf” managed to win against the Black and Yellows only three times. In contrast, Dortmund prevailed 18 times. The points were shared once. Mönchengladbach’s most recent victory came in the first half of the 2022/23 season, when VfL won 4-2 at home.

The club from the Lower Rhine suffered an unexpected setback last weekend. Against VfL Wolfsburg, they lost 1-3 in front of their home crowd. Before that, Gladbach had gone five Bundesliga matches unbeaten in a row (4 wins, 1 draw).

Gladbach recently strong on the road

Additionally, VfL has been in excellent form away from home. They have picked up three wins in a row on the road—without conceding a single goal. Four consecutive away clean-sheet victories by Mönchengladbach have never happened before in Germany’s top division. Not even in the 1970s, when a total of five league titles went to Bökelberg.

Borussia Dortmund is almost unbeatable in the Bundesliga. Across seasons, BVB has lost only one of their last 22 matches (15 wins, 6 draws). In mid-October, FC Bayern Munich won at home 2-1 against the Black and Yellows.

Compared to last season, the Westphalians are not only five places higher in the table, but also have seven more points. While BVB trailed league leaders FC Bayern by eleven points in 2024/25, the gap is currently nine. Dortmund earned more than their current 29 points after 14 matchdays only in 2021/22, when, under the coaching of Marco Rose, they even had one more point in their account.
