The 2015/16 Bundesliga season is now at the halfway stage, providing the ideal time to take stock of each club's progress so far. Here, bundesliga.com puts Borussia Mönchengladbach under the microscope.

The story so far

After the most successful season in recent years, Borussia Mönchengladbach understandably began the campaign with high hopes, but five straight defeats to start the season soon saw any lofty aims redefined. Lucien Favre's resignation nevertheless came as a surprise, but the Swiss could not be talked out of his decision to depart.

What was a moment of concern, as the man who had guided the Foals through their most successful era since the 1970s walked away, actually became the turning point of the season. Under Andre Schubert, Gladbach embarked on a six-game winning streak. A draw with FC Ingolstadt 04 ended that run, but the unbeaten record continued until Matchday 16 and a 5-0 defeat to Bayer 04 Leverkusen which, as heavy as it was, will not wipe away the reality of a resurgent Gladbach side heading into 2016.
