Spectators

• Under the current Coronavirus measures being enforced by the federal and state governments, all professional sporting events must take place behind closed doors.

Head-to-head record

• Borussia will meet FC Bayern Munich for the 106th time in the Bundesliga. The holding champions have enjoyed the better record, winning 50 of the previous duels. The Foals have come out on top 26 times, with the two sides drawing on 29 occasions.
• No other Bundesliga side has picked up more points against Bayern than Gladbach since summer 2014 (20 points from 13 games). While Bayern have picked up 185 more points than the Foals in that time period, the head-to-head record between the two sides is in favour of Borussia: five Bayern wins, two draws, six Gladbach wins.
• In 83 games under head coach Hansi Flick, Bayern have only been defeated 7 times. The record champions have only lost to one club twice: the Foals.
• In each of the past three years, the Foals have always won the first league game between the two sides, before losing the fixture in the second half of the season.

Statistics – presented by UNIBET

• The Foals have won four of their last six Bundesliga games, only failing to beat Hertha (2-2) and Hoffenheim (3-2) in that time.
• Gladbach have had a few struggles on the road as of late. In their last eight away games, the Foals have only won once (3-0 over Schalke on Matchday 26). Of the other seven matches, there have been four draws and three defeats.
• With an away win, Borussia could not only possibly prevent Bayern from winning the league, but also celebrate an milestone victory at the same time. To date, the Foals have 249 away wins in their Bundesliga history and could therefore celebrate number 250 on Saturday.
• Thanks to the recent 2-1 defeat in Mainz, Bayern saw their lead over RB Leipzig reduced to seven points. The Bavarian side can clinch its ninth Bundesliga title in a row with a win on Saturday. Thomas Müller and David Alaba can become the first players in Bundesliga history to celebrate their tenth league title.
• FC Bayern has now dropped more points in the league this season (5 draws, 4 defeats) than in the whole of last season (4 draws, 4 defeats). The defending champions can also no longer reach the same number of points as in the previous season (82).
• Robert Lewandowski has had the longest injury break since coming to Germany: the attacker missed six matches, including 4 Bundesliga games. Returning on the last matchday in Mainz, Lewandowski scored his 36th goal of the season. In his record 40-goal season in 1971/72, Gerd Müller had 37 goals to his name at this point.
