Borussia M'gladbach form and stats

M'gladbach was sent out of Europa League in the group stage last season.

The visitors are W3-D5-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Bundesliga. Total Champions League statistics for Borussia M'gladbach: 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. It's looking increasingly bleak for M'gladbach who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Wolfsburg was the last time a defeat was avoided. Borussia M'gladbach seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Borussia M'gladbach lost away at Augsburg (1-3) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. The game before that, in the Bundesliga, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Bayer Leverkusen.

M'gladbach has another fixture away, a Bundesliga game, against Schalke 04 in just four days. A tough schedule for the visitors!

The travelling fans enjoy M'gladbach's attacking play in away games, having scored 21 goals in 12 league matches away. The M'gladbach manager M. Rose has some worries about the defense as 24 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

The most recent history between these sides is the Borussia M'gladbach - Manchester 0-2 played earlier this season. As for the last five games between these two teams, there's four Manchester victories, one draw and zero Borussia M'gladbach wins. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, two matches with two goals or less.
