BVB equal club record with win over Mönchengladbach | OneFootball

The 2-0 win over Borussia Mönchengladbach on Friday not only gives BVB a slightly more relaxed winter break than would have been the case without this victory. With this latest home win against the visitors from the Lower Rhine, the current Borussia Dortmund team also equals a club record that is not particularly flattering for Mönchengladbach. Here are the details.

In the Bundesliga table, Schwarzgelb secured second place with this three-pointer for the short duration of the winter break, which begins this evening. The ninth win in the fifteenth match brings BVB points 30, 31, and 32, with five draws and only one defeat. The match was hard-fought and, despite the early lead by Julian Brandt (10th minute), was not decided until the very last moment. Only when Maximilian Beier added the second goal in the seventh minute of stoppage time was Dortmund’s victory finally sealed.

At the same time, a club record for BVB in Bundesliga home games was equaled. With this Friday’s win, Borussia Dortmund has now won twelve consecutive home games against this opponent, Borussia Mönchengladbach. The only other time BVB managed such a long home winning streak against the same club in the Bundesliga was between 1977 and 1998 against MSV Duisburg, who also had to return home empty-handed twelve times in a row during that period.

MSV Duisburg also with a flop streak at BVB

The winning streak against Borussia Mönchengladbach, however, was not interrupted by a relegation of the Foals, unlike the one against MSV Duisburg. The last time the “Foals” took anything from Signal Iduna Park was on March 15, 2014, when they won 2-1 in Dortmund.

The results since then read like a horror show for the visitors, but at the same time are also a testament to the consistently strong squads BVB has fielded:

That makes a total of 41:9 goals in this winning streak, or an average result of 3.42 to 0.75 goals.

During this period, BMG also played once in the DFB-Pokal in Dortmund—and, almost inevitably, lost as well, going down 2-1 in 2019. Now, BVB could extend its club record next season if they win the next home game against Borussia Mönchengladbach. In addition to all BVB supporters, there is likely another group of football fans who would be pleased: those of MSV Duisburg.
