Impressive tally
From their last ten Bundesliga outings in Borussia Park, the sides in the shirt with the infamous red hoops decided four in their favour, with five games ending in the spoils being shared.
Delayed reunion
Ibrahima Traoré left VfB after three years in 2014 and linked up with Gladbach. Since then, the winger has made 63 league appearances for Borussia. The attacker will not be available to his coach on Tuesday evening due to injury – a muscle-bundle tear to his right thigh which he picked up at the end of August.
Table neighbours
Both in the current and all-time league tables, Gladbach and the Cannstatt Boys are table neighbours. In the current Bundesliga table, VfB are one point clear of Borussia in ninth spot. In the all-time table, the Wasenelf also have their noses in front, where they are perched in fifth place.
