Borussia Dortmund vs Borussia Monchengladbach – Predicted lineup and team news | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund host Borussia Mönchengladbach at Signal Iduna Park this Friday.

This Borussen showdown looks set to deliver excitement, as Dortmund aim to build on their 1-1 stalemate with SC Freiburg. The Black and Yellows lead the Bundesliga with seven clean sheets this season and remain unbeaten in their past five meetings against Gladbach.

Dortmund’s Bundesliga run lately shows mixed results—two victories and three stalemates across their past five league outings.

Their most recent game ended 1-1 against SC Freiburg on December 14, with Ramy Bensebaini netting in the 31st minute, only for Jobe Bellingham’s 53rd-minute red card to leave them a man down. Lucas Höler levelled for Freiburg in the 75th minute, preserving Dortmund’s unbeaten streak yet frustrating the coaches over missed opportunities.

Elsewhere, the Black and Yellows stumbled in recent cup ties, dropping a 0-1 decision to Bayer Leverkusen in the DFB Pokal and settling for a 2-2 draw versus Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League last week.
