Head-to-head record

  • Following the 2017/18 season in which Frankfurt completed a league double over Borussia, Gladbach have not lost against the Eagles in five games. The Foals have won three and drawn two of these and scored 14 goals in the process.
  • Adi Hütter has never won against the Foals. In addition to the five Bundesliga matches with Frankfurt, the Austrian also lost to Borussia twice in 2016 while in charge of Young Boys in Champions League qualification.
  • Marco Rose, on the other hand, has never lost a Bundesliga match against Eintracht. His three games as a player for Mainz all ended as a draw, while he has won twice and drawn once as coach.
