Match Preview

Borussia Mönchengladbach will put the Bundesliga’s only 100% home record (W7) on the line against the league’s worst away side when Nuremberg (D2, L5) visit Borussia-Park, in a clash that hasn’t occurred for the past four seasons.

A good point at Hoffenheim at the weekend kept Gladbach in second place (W9, D3, L3), albeit nine points adrift of Dortmund, and with just one solitary loss in six league games (W4, D1, L1). Each of Gladbach’s last seven league wins (and eight of nine this season) have been by a margin of two goals or more, as have all four of their competitive losses this season.

Never behind at half-time at home this season, Gladbach have turned four half-time draws into a league-high four full-time wins. A goal difference of plus 18 at home with just three goals conceded points to a tough evening ahead for second-bottom Nuremberg (W2, D5, L8), who have just five away league goals and let in a league-high 25.

Coming into this fixture winless in nine Bundesliga games (D3, L6), Nuremberg have suffered seven defeats this season with a +1 handicap headstart.

No team has also recorded more HT/FT losses (five) away from home than Nuremberg, and in all but one away league game this season Nuremberg have conceded a goal between the 21st and 32nd minute (eight goals in total).

Players to watch: Thorgan Hazard has eight goals and six assists for Gladbach this season, while Adam Zreľák has three competitive goals for Nuremberg – all from the 78th minute onwards.

Stat attack: The historical H2H is close with 29 competitive wins for Gladbach and 27 for Nuremberg (ten draws), with an average of 2.77 goals per game.

Gladbach haven’t drawn 0-0 at home in 36 league games.

Nuremberg have conceded at least once in each of their last 13 away Bundesliga games (includes 2013/14).
