Borussia’s record against Fürth
- Fürth are one of six sides against whom Borussia have never dropped points in the Bundesliga. However, the two sides have only met on three occasions in the top flight. Borussia came out on top in both matches in the 2012/13 season (1-0 at home and 4-2 away), and they defeated SpVgg earlier this season in Mönchengladbach (4-0).
- There have been eight further meetings between the two sides (six Bundesliga 2 matches, 2 DFB-Pokal matches). Borussia’s record in these matches is also strong (W6, D2), which means that the Foals are yet to lose to Fürth in eleven competitive meetings.
