Gladbach before the Rhenish Derby: Can the winless streak finally end?
Today, November 8th, 2025, the Bundesliga will once again be dominated by exciting duels. For all Cologne fans, the upcoming Rhenish derby between Borussia Mönchengladbach and 1. FC Cologne is an absolute highlight. Borussia Mönchengladbach come into this game with the wind at their back after celebrating a historic 4-0 away win at FC St. Pauli last weekend. This was the biggest away win by a current bottom team in Bundesliga history, which is likely to be another warning sign for their opponents.
Gladbach wants to finally end their eight-game winless streak (three draws, five defeats). Recently, the club has not been particularly successful in home games against FC Cologne, as they have only won once in the last seven meetings at Borussia Park - that speaks for the Cologne team's strong performance in Gladbach. 1. FC Köln has only lost one of the last seven away games at Borussia Park and can point to a good away record: This season, the team from the cathedral city has already scored six away goals and thus won seven out of 15 possible points.
Statistics and injuries
A closer look at the statistics shows that Gladbach leads against Cologne with 61 wins in a total of 132 duels, but has had difficulty scoring points in the home arena. In the final quarter of an hour of the games, Gladbach scored seven goals, which underlines the drama of the games. Cologne players also showed good scoring potential during this phase, with a total of seven goals in the final quarter of an hour - the highest number in the league. All of these factors contribute to the excitement of the derby.
However, there is also negative news on Gladbach's side, as Tim Kleindienst is out due to injury. Haris Tabakovic, who scored a brace in the win against St. Pauli and is responsible for 50% of Gladbach's goals, will do everything he can to lead his team to their first win in the derby.
The current table situation
So let's look forward to the kick-off, because here not only tradition meets rival emotions, but also the will to continue writing one's own history in the derby. It remains to be seen whether 1. FC Köln can continue its positive run or whether Borussia Mönchengladbach will step out of the shadow of the last few games.
