Previous meetings • Sevilla prevailed 4-2 on aggregate (1-0 at home, 3-2 away) when the clubs met in the UEFA Europa League round of 32 last season. • The teams for that second leg in Germany on 26 February were: Mönchengladbach: Sommer, Herrmann (Traoré 72), Kruse, Raffael, Domínguez (Hrgota 77), Wendt, Kramer, Jantschke (Johnson 78), Hazard, Xhaka, Stranzl. Sevilla: Rico, Trémoulinas (Navarro 82), Krychowiak, Figueiras, Carriço, Bacca (Gameiro 77), Iborra, Kolodziejczak, Banega (Mbia 65), Vitolo, Vidal. Match background Mönchengladbach • Bottom of Group D, Mönchengladbach are still pursuing their first win of the campaign, following back-to-back draws with Juventus. • It is 30 years since Mönchengladbach last won a home match against Spanish opposition – 5-1 against Real Madrid CF in a UEFA Cup third round fixture in Dusseldorf on 27 November 1985. Gladbach lost the tie on away goals after losing the second leg 4-0. • Aside from the aforementioned Sevilla matches, Gladbach's most recent home encounter with Liga visitors brought a 1-1 draw against Villarreal CF in the 2014/15 UEFA Europa League group stage. Patrick Herrmann got the Foals' goal. • The Bundesliga club's overall home record against Spanish sides is W2 D2 L2. Sevilla • Sevilla are looking to halt a run of three consecutive defeats in Group D. Their only points to date came from the 3-0 home win against Mönchengladbach on 15 September. • The Andalusian club lost just one of seven away fixtures in the 2014/15 UEFA Europa League but have yet to pick up a point on their travels this season, losing at Juventus and Manchester City FC. They last lost three successive European away games in the 2004/05 UEFA Cup. • Sevilla are seeking a third straight victory on German soil after last February's win at Gladbach and a 2-0 success at SC Freiburg in the 2013/14 UEFA Europa League group stage in which Vicente Iborra scored one of the goals. • They have a strong overall record in Germany with five wins from eight visits (two defeats, one draw). Coach and player links • As Valencia CF coach, Unai Emery suffered UEFA Champions League elimination in Germany with a 3-1 defeat at FC Schalke 04 in the 2010/11 round of 16. Éver Banega was in the Valencia side. • As a Club Atlético de Madrid player, Álvaro Domínguez faced Sevilla seven times, winning just once. • At Borussia Dortmund last season, Ciro Immobile appeared as a late substitute in a home win (1-0) and away defeat (1-3) against Gladbach. • Grzegorz Krychowiak has already lost once in Germany this season, going down 3-1 with Poland in a UEFA EURO 2016 qualifier. • Players who have played together: José Antonio Reyes & Domínguez (Atlético 2008–11) Banega & Domínguez (Atlético 2008–09) Michael Krohn-Dehli & Andreas Christensen (Denmark) Match facts Mönchengladbach • Lars Stindl and Domínguez are a booking away from a suspension. 5 VfL Borussia Mönchengladbach - Sevilla FC Wednesday 25 November 2015 - 20.45CET (20.45 local time) Match press kit Borussia-Park, Monchengladbach • The Foals are nine unbeaten since the defeat by Manchester City on matchday two. • Mönchengladbach, having lost their first five league games this season, were on a run of six successive Bundesliga victories until a goalless draw with FC Ingolstadt 04 on 7 November – all achieved under caretaker boss André Schubert.
