2022 was definitely better than 2021: 1.5 instead of 1.32 points per game, 1.88 instead of 1.63 goals, 1.66 instead of 1.74 goals conceded, seventh instead of eleventh. But in the defensive area there is clearly room for improvement. So far the defensive performance has also prevented a better performance under the guidance of coach Farke, who averaged 1.47 points in 2022, a little less even than Hütter (1.53), who first led Borussia into the battle for relegation and from there back into stable spheres. . The task now is to continue the upward trend into the start of the new year.
