Borussia Mönchengladbach is just a spectator here. Some of the guests trotted apathetically behind and let BVB do their thing. The hosts, on the other hand, probably didn’t let themselves be impressed by Munich’s runaway victory today and are also aiming for one themselves.

Tooor for Borussia Dortmund, 3:0 by Sébastien Haller
Dortmund just keeps going and immediately scores the third goal against far too passive foals! Malen gets the ball on the right corner flag, plays a one-two with Brandt and walks through to the five. His low cross then comes easily in the back of Haller, but he makes the best of it and simply nets the far corner with his heel. A great hit!

Tooor for Borussia Dortmund, 2-0 through Jude Bellingham
After Adeyemi’s miss against Wolfsburg, Bellingham steps up this time and makes it 2-0! However, with a good portion of luck! The Englishman pushes the ball loosely and unplaced half-left onto the goal and thus exactly into the corner into which Olschowsky jumps. Somehow the keeper’s leather slips through.

Penalty kick for BVB! Dortmund comes with Brandt on the right, who then actually does not play the ball well in the back of Haller, who is lurking in the penalty area. He has to turn around his own axis and is run over by Florian Neuhaus. The contact was unfortunate, but clear, so nothing comes from the VAR.

Gladbach is now offensive in the game and keeps coming back into dangerous areas. Defensively, the guests seem overwhelmed. Adeyemi walks with the leather up to the five and sticks through to Haller, who can no longer quite get the ball directly in front of Olschowsky.

Then BVB pushes again and Bellingham marches through midfield at full speed. From 25 meters, the Englishman pushes the ball just past the right post. But Olschowsky would have been there too.

Now it’s going wild! First Malen misses a good chance to make it 2-0 with a hasty finish, then Bensebaini has a huge chance to equalize in return. Against unsorted Dortmund, the Algerian pulls in from the left and has a clear path from 13 meters. Kobel suspects the corner, dives at lightning speed and scrapes out the right-footed shot!

The guests are not really in the match yet and regularly come too late in the duels. Haller tries to get a free-kick cross from Brandt with his heel, but doesn’t even come close to doing it.

After this dream city, Dortmund would like to start immediately and make the next promising attack, which this time ends in front of the penalty area.

Tooor for Borussia Dortmund, 1:0 by Donyell Malen
BVB takes the lead with the first attack! After a strong build-up from his own half, Sébastien Haller picked up speed and easily passed Marvin Friedrich in front of the penalty area. From 17 meters, the Ivorian pulls powerfully with the right and sends keeper Olschowsky into the left corner. Bensebaini then blocks the shot with a tackle, but the ball comes down again a few meters from the goal. Since Olschowsky was already heading to the wrong side, Donyell Malen, who was pursuing, was able to push the ball over the line from a short distance.

It starts off rather leisurely in Signal Iduna Park. both teams are still looking for their rhythm and don’t want to make any mistakes in this early phase.

Here we go! Of course, BVB plays in black and yellow, Gladbach wears white.

The impartial team on site today consists of referee Daniel Schlager and his assistants Sven Waschitzki-Günther and Arno Blos. Tobias Reichel is responsible for evaluating the moving images in the Cologne basement.

At Daniel Farke, the personal worries in the offensive area have not exactly decreased. While Marcus Thuram is back in the squad but is far from fit again, Alassane Plea has to pass today due to a yellow card suspension. Nevertheless, Gladbach’s coach travels to Dortmund with optimism. “We’re really looking forward to this game and the atmosphere there. If we get our issues onto the pitch, we always have a chance of taking something that counts with us,” believes Farke, for whom BVB’s situation doesn’t matter. “I’m just a Borussia Mönchengladbach fan. I’m not interested in who becomes champion. I want to get three points on Saturday, everything else is not on my mind,” the 46-year-old clarified.

Edin Terzić was of course confident after the strong performances recently. “The last home games looked really good. We managed to show really good football with conviction, self-confidence and quality. That will also be important against Gladbach,” said the BVB training manager. At the same time, the 40-year-old remembered the last duels with Gladbach and warned: “We often didn’t look good against Gladbach. In the first leg we fell behind early on, had to keep chasing and lost the game. That should be us this time not happen. We will do everything we can to be there from the first second.”
17:41
A look at the line-ups: BVB coach Edin Terzić trusts the old principle of “Never change a winning team” and sends the same eleven onto the pitch that Wolfsburg last sacked. Meanwhile, there are two necessary changes for the guests. Keeper Jonas Omlin is out for a short time and is injured by Jan Olschowsky, and Hannes Wolf replaces the suspended Alassane Pléa.
17:37
For the guests from the Lower Rhine, the last few games are more or less just about ending the season properly. After three games without a win, the Foals were able to win again in the 2-0 win against Bochum, but Borussia is in no man’s land in the table. The Farke-Elf can no longer be relegated and the international places are also unreachable. Nevertheless, Gladbach have one goal: After the 4-2 win in the first half of the season, they want to win both Borussia duels in one season for the first time since the 2013/14 season.

Last week FCB presented with a win in Bremen and Dortmund were able to stay in touch thanks to a 6-0 win over Wolfsburg. This weekend, the record champions were once again able to run first in the title race and extended their lead over BVB to four points again. Dortmund now wants to get back on track and would ensure with another home win at the same time that second place can no longer be stolen from them.
