Despite full fan support of more than 50,000 fans every match, Borussia Mönchengladbach’s struggles continued last season as the club recorded its worst league finish since 2011. Gladbach failed to win back-to-back Bundesliga matches and only recorded four clean sheets. The constant tactical and formation changes didn’t help either, but hopefully the lack of transfer activity will yield better results.
Last season, Bayern Munich came from behind twice to defeat Gladbach 2-1 and 3-1, featuring five different scorers. In the DFB-Pokal, Gladbach served as another victim to the Saarbrücken Cinderella story.
