Match facts ahead of #BMGSVW

Everything you need to know ahead of the Foals’ final Bundesliga game of the year against SV Werder Bremen on Friday evening (20:30 CET).

Head-to-head record

• The teams are facing each other in the Bundesliga for the 107th time. The current head-to-head record stands at 41 Borussia wins, 39 Bremen wins and 26 draws.
• The Foals have lost just one of their last 17 Bundesliga games against Werder at BORUSSIA-PARK, succumbing 4-1 on 23rd October 2010 (Marin, Wesley, Hunt and Pizarro netted for Bremen, while Gladbach struck via a Mertesacker own goal). Borussia have played out seven wins and four draws in the last eleven home games against tomorrow’s opponents.
• Gladbach have more home wins over Bremen than against any other club in Bundesliga history (31 in 53 games).

Statistics

• The Foals have won their last three home games, five including the DFB-Pokal. This is their longest competitive winning run on their own turf since four years ago, when they won seven in a row under Marco Rose.
• Werder have won none of their previous nine Bundesliga away games over this season and last, losing eight. SVW last went on a winless away run this long six years ago (also nine matches).
• Alassane Plea has already found the net seven times in the first half of this Bundesliga season, making him Borussia’s top scorer. Only in 2018/19 (nine goals) did he strike more in the first half of a campaign.
• Patrick Herrmann has come on as a substitute 150 times in the Bundesliga, with only Claudio Pizarro having come off the bench more – and Herrmann could still potentially equal the Werder legend’s total of 169 this season.
• Fabio Chiarodia, who spoke about #BMGSVW in an interview yesterday, moved from Werder to Borussia in summer 2023. He has played three times in the Bundesliga for Bremen, and four times for Gladbach so far.

Referee

• Felix Zwayer will officiate as the referee. His assistants will be Stefan Lupp and Thomas Stein, with Nicolas Winter as the fourth official. Dr. Felix Brych and Frederick Assmuth will be on VAR duty.
