The facts about the Union game |
When an Eberl penalty sealed bankruptcy!
Sunday (3.30 p.m.) Gladbach has to play at Union Berlin.
Borussia coach Daniel Farke (45) with a lot of respect for the leader: “Mentality, strength of character and will are trademarks of this team. They have a high level of quality and have worked their way up the final rankings season after season over the past few years. You can only pay a huge compliment to Urs Fischer and Oliver Ruhnert, who have continued to develop the club with consistency and calm. This is a sign of excellent quality work and a lesson for many other clubs.”

Gladbach won only one of the 7 competitive games against Union; in May 2020 at home in the Bundesliga with 4:1. Borussia did not concede a goal in any of the 7 competitive games against Union. The Foals scored exactly one goal in each of the last 4 duels against Union (1:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:2).

Eberl Elfer
In February 2001, Borussia also lost to Union in the semi-finals of the DFB Cup – on penalties (2-2 aet). In addition to Arie van Lent, ex-manager Max Eberl also missed a decisive penalty for Gladbach.

Marvin Friedrich switched to Borussia in January 2022 after 4 years at Union. In 2019 he was promoted with Union and played 78 games for Berlin in the Bundesliga (7 goals). Marcus Thuram has not scored more Bundesliga goals against Union than against any other club (3 in 4 appearances). There is some evidence that he will continue that scoring streak: Thuram is on the run, scoring in the last four straight games.
Gladbach experts
Union also has players who like to play against Borussia: Robin Knoche scored 3 of his 14 Bundesliga goals against the Foals – against no other club has he scored so often. Sven Michel played for Borussia Mönchengladbach II in the Regionalliga West from January 2013 to January 2014 (12 goals in 34 games).
