Borussia Monchengladbach hosts Borussia Dortmund at Borussia-Park on Sunday, kickoff 11:30 a.m. ET, in a match that pairs a club fighting for midtable breathing room against one sitting second in the Bundesliga with 67 points.
Marcel Sabitzer is one of the players whose recent impact has shaped the fixture: he scored twice in the return clash, finding the net in the 22nd and 28th minute. Those goals were part of a sequence that helped Dortmund secure a victory in that earlier meeting and contribute to the club’s first league double over Monchengladbach since the 2019-20 Bundesliga season.
The numbers underline why this match matters on Sunday. Borussia Dortmund arrive on matchday 32 with 67 points and a place of real consequence in the table; Borussia Monchengladbach sit 14th with 32 points and need results that lift them away from the lower reaches. The game will be played at Borussia-Park and is listed to start at 11:30 a.m. ET.
Recent head-to-head details add weight. In a recent meeting, Monchengladbach led 2-0 inside the opening 30 minutes, only for Dortmund to come from behind and win 4-2; the comeback featured goals from Marcel Sabitzer, Nicklas Fullkrug, Jamie Gittens and Donyell Malen. That 4-2 turnaround underlines both Monchengladbach’s ability to start strongly and Dortmund’s capacity to overturn deficits.
Broadcast information is in place for international viewers: the match is listed with Select as the U.S. viewing option, Amazon Prime Video as the U.K. option and Sky DAZN Germany for viewers in Germany.
Context is simple and immediate: Dortmund have shown in these fixtures both a scorer in Sabitzer and a depth of attacking options that have overturned early setbacks, and they have the league position — second on 67 points — that makes every remaining fixture important. Monchengladbach’s 32 points and 14th-place standing make Sunday a moment to arrest slip and gather the points that separate comfort from scramble.
The tension in the matchup is obvious from the results: Monchengladbach can build a two-goal lead inside 30 minutes, yet Dortmund have demonstrated an ability to erase deficits and finish games on top, including a 4-2 comeback and a return-clash win that produced Sabitzer’s brace. That contradiction — early control versus late resilience — is the friction both teams will have to resolve on the pitch.
What matters next is straightforward. The match kicks off on Sunday at 11:30 a.m. ET at Borussia-Park; viewers in the United States can tune via Select, those in the U.K. via Amazon Prime Video and viewers in Germany via Sky DAZN Germany. For Dortmund, another positive result would consolidate a season that has them second with 67 points; for Monchengladbach, a result at home would be an immediate answer to a season that has left them 14th on 32 points.
Given Dortmund’s recent ability to overturn early deficits and the fact that they completed a league double in this fixture for the first time since the 2019-20 Bundesliga season, the simplest conclusion is this: on paper and in recent meetings, Dortmund bring momentum and a proven comeback edge; Monchengladbach must fix the lapses that allow those comebacks if they are to change the pattern on Sunday.
