"Despite being left frustrated last week as they eventually had to settle for a 2-2 Champions League stalemate against Norwegian outfit Bodo/Glimt, Dortmund have certainly gained a reputation for their overall success on home soil. While Kovac's side might have watched their DFP Pokal adventure come to an end earlier in the month as they got December underway with a 1-0 loss at the hands of Bayer Leverkusen, that is the only domestic defeat that BVB have suffered in front of their own supporters since way back in March."
"Pencilled in as a standout contender when they return to Signal Iduna Park this weekend, BVB also hold a dominant home record against Friday's guests. Including a 3-2 win when they last welcomed Gladbach to town back in April, they have won all of their last 12 consecutive showdowns against the Foals - a run that stems all the way back to March 2014."
Borussia Dortmund will host Borussia Monchengladbach at Signal Iduna Park on Friday seeking an immediate Bundesliga response and the chance to climb to second place. Niko Kovac's side have shown inconsistencies recently but maintain strong home form, including a 4-0 European win over Villarreal and a 2-2 Champions League draw with Bodo/Glimt. Dortmund's only domestic home defeat since March was a 1-0 DFP Pokal loss to Bayer Leverkusen. Monchengladbach produced spells of strong form around the international break but remain inconsistent. Dortmund have won 12 straight home meetings with Gladbach, dating back to March 2014.
