Bayern Munich kick off 2025 in Mönchengladbach, where Borussia Mönchengladbach will attempt once again to halt the Munich side's advance. In recent seasons, Bayern have frequently dropped points against Borussia M'gladbach, but following the New Year break, they are highly motivated to pull away from Bayer Leverkusen in the title race.
Borussia Mönchengladbach
Despite ending last year on a decent note with three wins in their last five matches, Borussia Mönchengladbach have struggled to shore up their defence. Since 30th November, they have conceded six goals in four Bundesliga fixtures and rank among the seven weakest defences by an expected goals against (26.74). In their match against Hoffenheim (2:1), Borussia M'gladbach were saved by their opponents' poor finishing, allowing 3.10 xGA and 18 shots on their goal.
Bayern Munich
After an unexpected loss away to Mainz (1:2), Bayern Munich ran riot against an inconsistent RB Leipzig side (5:1). The returning Harry Kane did not register on the scoresheet as Jamal Musiala (1+1), Michael Olise (2 assists), and Joshua Kimmich (1+1) stole the spotlight. Bayern lead the league by a significant margin in xG (40.80), and their shooting efficiency is even higher away from home, with 25 goals scored from 20.13 expected goals.
Borussia Mönchengladbach vs Bayern Munich Prediction
Until last season, Borussia M'gladbach had not lost to Bayern Munich since 2020; however, in the 2023/24 campaign, Bayern emerged victorious in both encounters (2:1 and 3:1). In Mönchengladbach, the Munich side will create the necessary advantage for a win—we anticipate goals from them.
