Match facts ahead of #RBLBMG

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the Foals’ trip to Leipzig on Saturday afternoon (18:30 CET).

HEAD-TO-HEAD

• Saturday’s clash will be the 16th time that Gladbach have faced off against RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga. RBL have generally had the better of the Foals, as they’ve come out on top in nine of the 16 encounters. Gladbach have been victorious on three occasions, with three draws between the two sides.
   
• The Foals have never won in Leipzig, and their last three games there have all ended in defeat.
   
• Earlier this season, Timo Werner’s goal in the 75th minute gave RBL a narrow 1-0 win in a tight affair at the BORUSSIA-PARK

STATISTICS

• Both teams have only won one Bundesliga match apiece in 2024 so far. Borussia ran out as 3-1 winners over high-flyers VfB Stuttgart in their first game back after the winter break, whereas RBL finally got back to winning ways in their most recent home game against Union Berlin (2-0).
   
• Gladbach and Leipzig have proved to be dangerous from dead-ball scenarios this season. RBL have scored the most goals from set-pieces of any Bundesliga team so far this campaign, with 14. The Foals, on the other hand, have netted more times from corners than any other side in the league (9).
   
• There are two potential milestones on the horizon for Gladbach centre-back Nico Elvedi. It’s set to be the Swiss international’s 250th Bundesliga appearance, and he could potentially bring up a century of victories in the league if Borussia come out on top in Leipzig.
   
• RBL have only kept one clean sheet in their last twelve league matches, compared to the five they kept in their first nine games this campaign.

OFFICIALS

• Sören Storks will officiate the game at the weekend, with Thorben Siewer and Philipp Hüwe as his assistants. Richard Hempel will serve as the fourth official, while Johann Pfeifer and Marco Achmüller will be responsible for VAR.
