Match facts ahead of #BMGSCF

Everything you need to know about the Foals’ upcoming Bundesliga home game against SC Freiburg on Sunday evening (17:30 CET).

Spectators

• Due to the tightening of Coronavirus regulations made by the state on Thursday, only 15,000 spectators are permitted to attend the match at BORUSSIA-PARK.
• All spectators are to show proof of vaccination or recovery upon entry to the ground, and face coverings are to be worn at all times.

Borussia’s record against SC Freiburg

• Sunday’s match will be the 39th meeting between Borussia and SC Freiburg in the Bundesliga, and their current record is almost identical. Gladbach have won 12 of these matches, there have been 13 draws, and Freiburg have claimed victory on 13 occasions.
• There have been 105 goals in these 38 league meetings – 50 for the Foals and 55 for SCF.
• The away side has never won in each of the last 26 matches between the sides in the top flight. A Bundesliga record could be equalled this weekend if the away side doesn’t prevail victorious for the 27th fixture in a row, as was the case for Frankfurt and Mönchengladbach between 1979 and 1992 and for Kaiserslautern and Bremen between 1966 and 1979.
• Freiburg’s last and only win in Mönchengladbach in 19 attempts came over a quarter of a century ago, when goals from Damir Buric and Uwe Wassmer secured a 2-1 away win for Freiburg at the home of the Foals, the Bökelbergstadion.

Statistics – presented by UNIBET

• Only Bayer Leverkusen have scored more goals in the opening fifteen minutes of their league matches this season (9) than the Foals (5).
• Jonas Hofmann scored his seventh goal of the season last week against Köln and set a new personal goalscoring record after thirteen matchdays at the same time.
• SCF have lost all of their last three Bundesliga games after going unbeaten in the first ten games of the season (W6, D4).
• Former Foal Vincenzo Grifo’s set-pieces have directly led to six goals so far in 2021/22 for Freiburg – the best return of any player in the top flight.
