No home grown makes the breakthrough In view of the lack of a triple burden, no player from their own youth will again be able to establish themselves among the professionals in the coming season. Even if established forces fail, Adi Hütter will not fall back on a Borussia talent from the foal stable. The 18-year-old Joe Scally and Luca Netz will come on missions, but are not home-grown.

Borussia gets more points against the little ones Gladbach scored 28 points in 18 games against teams from the lower half of the table last season. That gives a weak average of 1.55 points per game. There were also home defeats against Hoffenheim, Mainz, Cologne and Stuttgart, which jumped to ninth place in the final sprint. With the fans back, the balance in their own stadium will improve again.

He will know the meaning of the game.

As in every season, Neuhaus increases his goal rate First three, then four, six league goals in the preseason: Florian Neuhaus has become more dangerous every year at Borussia. And he will also improve his yield in the new season. Because Neuhaus knows how to find the way out of the defensive midfield at the right moment towards the penalty area, his conclusion is precise. And the much worse second half of the season recently showed that there is still room for improvement.

Borussia will have a positive away record in the coming season The final 4: 2 in Bremen could no longer avert the negative overall balance on foreign places: Last season Borussia recorded only five away wins, but six defeats. Now there will be more reason to cheer. The goal scoring required for this was already there in the previous year: 32 hits in 17 games. More stability on the defensive will ensure that avoidable point losses are now much less common.

Borussia will crack 750 Bundesliga victories in 2021/22 The Gladbachers are still missing 16 wins in the league to reach this special mark, which so far only four other clubs have jumped over. Borussia will be able to do this by the end of the season. The team, which continues to be of high quality, can concentrate fully on the championship without the international business and will not lose as many points after taking the lead as last year.
