M'gladbach are 18th in the Bundesliga after 4 matches: 0 won, 0 drawn, 4 lost, 0 points. That is close to the relegation places. The bottom clubs are removed from this league at the end of the season and replaced by clubs from the division below.

Last Season (2025-26)

What to know before you follow them

Gladbach are rarely title favourites now. History is rich; the present is mid-to-upper table ambition.

What people sing

  • Die Nullerjahre / Fohlenelf chants

    Borussia-Park still sings like a club that remembers being the best. The repertoire is denser than the recent trophy cabinet.

Who the rivals are

  • 1. FC Köln

    The Rhine derby. Local pride between Cologne and Mönchengladbach, noisy when both are in the same division.

  • Borussia Dortmund

    A Borussia-to-Borussia rivalry with history, less radioactive than Dortmund-Schalke but still real.

Following them from America
