Match facts ahead of #BMGWOB

Everything you need to know about the Foals’ upcoming Bundesliga match at home to VfL Wolfsburg on Saturday (15:30 CEST).

Spectators

  • Current Coronavirus protection measures allow a maximum capacity of 10,000 fans at BORUSSIA-PARK this Saturday. With VfL Wolfsburg not selling out their allocation, there are still some tickets available on the ticket shop.
  • Fans attending the game will have to comply with the “2G-Plus” rule (fully vaccinated or recovered, plus a negative test or booster vaccination) and wear a mask throughout. Children yet to start school are exempt from the requirement to wear a mask.

Special announcements

  • Borussia will be wearing black armbands on Saturday in remembrance of Jordi Bongard. There will also be a minute’s silence before kick-off in his honour. The 20-year-old defender, who played for Borussia’s U23 team, passed away on Thursday night as the result of a traffic collision.
  • There will be a further minute’s silence before kick-off to send a message of peace and support for the people of Ukraine, following the current events in the country.

Head-to-head record

  • The Foals and the Wolves will meet for the 44th time in the Bundesliga on Saturday, and the tale of the tape gives the advantage to the side from Lower Saxony. Wolfsburg have won 22 games against Borussia, with the Foals taking 13 and eight other matches ending in draws.
  • Games between us and Wolfsburg usually feature lots of goals, the 43 previous meetings between the sides seeing 121 goals in them (68 for the Wolves, 53 for us). That gives a goals-per-game average of 2.79. Borussia won the clash earlier in the season, a 3-1 victory at the Volkswagen Arena.
  • Wolfsburg have beaten Borussia more times in the Bundesliga than any other of their opponents with their 22 wins. However, the Wolves’ history at BORUSSIA-PARK is much less than perfect; they have won just twice in their last 11 visits to Mönchengladbach.

Statistics – presented by UNIBET

  • The Foals finally had some success at home last time out, beating FC Augsburg 3-2. Before that, Borussia had to endure four defeats at home in a row.
  • Borussia have had an average of 54% possession and a passing accuracy of 85% over the course of the season, two statistics which place the Foals in the top six Bundesliga sides.
  • Adi Hütter’s side are the most fouled team in the Bundesliga, with 327 fouls being committed against them so far this campaign.
  • The defeat in Dortmund was Borussia’s eleventh of the season, the same amount of losses that they suffered in the whole of last season. Wolfsburg have also never had as many defeats as they have had in 2021/22.
  • The Wolves took all three points from their last away game with a 2-0 win against Eintracht Frankfurt. Before that, they lost four back-to-back games away from home.
  • Florian Kohfeldt’s team is one of aggression: Wolfsburg commit an average of 12 fouls per Bundesliga game. Only Mainz 05 are penalised for fouls (13 per game on average) more often.
  • Max Kruse, who scored 23 goals in 66 Bundesliga games for the Foals between 2013 and 2015, will be returning to BORUSSIA-PARK for the second time this season. Five weeks ago, he scored a brace as FC Union Berlin beat Borussia 2-1, but he rejoined the Wolves in the January transfer window.
