Borussia Mönchengladbach head-to-head record against Hamburger SV ahead of Bundesliga Matchday 9, Digi Mart USA News (Hamburg, Germany): Borussia Mönchengladbach must travel to Hamburger SV on Friday at 8:30 p.m. local time to open the ninth Bundesliga matchday.
The Volksparkstadion, which holds 57,000 spectators, is sold out, and around 6,000 Gladbach supporters are expected to travel to Hamburg.
The match will be the 103rd meeting between the two clubs in the Bundesliga. Borussia has won 34 of those games, while Hamburg has won 40.
In the 2025/26 season, the teams failed to score against each other for the first time in their 51 shared Bundesliga seasons.
Gladbach has a clearly negative record against Hamburg, despite scoring only one goal fewer than the Hanseatic club. The Foals have also failed to score in 29 of those meetings.
Of their last nine Bundesliga encounters with Hamburg, Borussia has won only one, a 3-1 victory in March 2017.
Both clubs’ most successful periods lie well in the past. Gladbach won the German championship five times in the 1970s, most recently in 1977, while Hamburg won it three times, last in 1983.
Gladbach captain Tim Kleindienst, who has scored only once in 10 competitive meetings with Hamburg, will not add to that tally, as he remains sidelined through injury. Weather forecasts call for cold conditions, with temperatures around 4 degrees Celsius at kickoff and a 0 percent chance of rain.
The match will be broadcast by Sky from 7:30 p.m. local time, with Hansi Küpper and his son Cornelius Küpper providing commentary.
