Head-to-head record

  • Saturday’s season finale will be the 28th meeting between TSG and Borussia in the top flight. The Kraichgau club edge the head-to-head record, winning nine of the 27 clashes to date. The Foals have seven wins, while eleven match-ups have ended in a draw.
  • Both sides have remained in the top flight since being promoted together in 2008. Only four teams are currently on longer uninterrupted spells in the Bundesliga: Bayern, Dortmund, Leverkusen and Wolfsburg.
  • Hoffenheim have lost just one of their last eight Bundesliga games against Gladbach (3-0 at home on 28th September 2019). However, each of the last five meetings have ended in a draw.
