    Borussen Derby

    Borussen Derby
    11/08/2022 2164

    Two of the top teams in German football, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund meet in the Bundesliga on the 11th of November. This fixture is known as the Borussen Derby but what does the word ‘Borussia’ mean?

    We must go back in history to find out. The word Borussia is Latin for Prussia, which was a former European state that encompassed much of Germany, Poland, Russia, and Lithuania. There is debate among the fans of the two teams in terms of which team is the most ‘Borussen’ and perhaps Mönchengladbach can claim that title as they were formed earlier.

    If we look back on the past 50 meetings between teams, there is a clear advantage for Borussia Dortmund in the Borussen Derby. Borussia Dortmund have won 30 of the 50 fixtures, with Borussia Mönchengladbach claiming only 13 victories. That means there have been 7 draws between the two teams in recent history, and often the Borussen Derby produces a winner.

    Of the 48 most recent matches played in the Bundesliga, Borussia Dortmund have been successful 28 times. Borussia Mönchengladbach have only 13 wins in the last 48 Bundesliga fixtures between the teams and they have often struggled to get the better of Borussia Dortmund in recent times, even when playing at home.

    Of the last 25 games played at Borussia-Park in all competitions, Borussia Mönchengladbach have recorded 10 wins and Borussia Dortmund also have 10 wins to their name, with 5 matches ending in draws.

    However, in the 2 most recent Bundesliga Borussen Derby games played at Borussia-Park, Borussia Mönchengladbach have come out on top, winning 1-0 in September 2021 and 4-2 in January 2021.

    Focussing on the previous 42 meetings between the teams, we have seen over 2.5 goals scored in 26 of those matches, which is just over 59%. There have been over 1.5 goals scored in 33 of the previous 44 games between Borussia Mönchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund, which is 75%.

    There have been 131 goals scored in total in the previous 42 Borussen Derby games and Borussia Dortmund have been responsible for 87 of those goals, with Borussia Mönchengladbach scoring 44 times.

    That means Borussia Dortmund also have the edge defensively. Borussia Dortmund have been scoring close to 2 goals per game on average in the past 42 fixtures with Borussia Mönchengladbach, whereas Borussia Mönchengladbach have been scoring at an average of 1 goal per game.

    Interestingly, of the last 23 Borussen Derby matches played at Borussia-Park, we have seen under 2.5 goals scored 12 times and over 2.5 goals 11 times. This goes against the overall record of the past 42 matches, during which over 2.5 goals were scored just over 59% of the time.

    There have been several player transfers between the teams over the years, including Thorgan Hazard, Mahmoud Dahoud, and Marco Reus arriving at Borussia Dortmund from Borussia Mönchengladbach with Jonas Hofmann and Matthias Ginter going in the opposite direction. Four of the five players to have transferred between the teams could be involved in the upcoming meeting if they are fit.
