Cologne - First versus third in a showdown between two historical heavyweights from Germany's top flight: FC Bayern München against Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Not since the 1970s have the Foals genuinely challenged at the Bundesliga summit, but that hasn't prevented them from being a thorn in the record titleholders' side in recent seasons, as proven by their Matchday 9 meeting in which Manuel Neuer produced a world class performance to ensure FC Bayern took a point from a 0-0 draw.

Ahead of Matchday 26's top-of-the-table clash on Sunday evening (kick-off 17:30 CET/16:30 GMT), bundesliga.com has put both sides under the microscope and summarised the comparison in one handy infographic - in some categories Gladbach even boast better stats than Pep Guardiola's troops.
