Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Bundesliga match.
Borussia Mönchengladbach are in desperate need of a win at Borussia-Park to end a 14-match run without victory, while Bayern Munich travel north aiming to extend their winning streak across all competitions to 13 games.
Borussia Mönchengladbach
Borussia Mönchengladbach are enduring a miserable campaign, sitting bottom of the table with no wins and only six goals scored, the lowest tally in the Bundesliga. Interim coach Eugen Polanski has been unable to reverse the decline, collecting two draws and two defeats, including a chaotic 4:6 loss to Eintracht Frankfurt after trailing 0:6. Despite creating 8.74 xG less than one per game. Their defensive record is equally alarming, conceding 2.14 goals per match. At home, the numbers are even worse — 10 goals conceded in four fixtures and no goals scored in three of them.
Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich are in ruthless form, recording seven wins from seven league matches with a goal difference of 27:4. The only occasion they scored fewer than three goals was in the 2:1 win over Borussia Dortmund. Harry Kane continues to be unstoppable, scoring 12 times from an expected 7.41 and providing three assists. Bayern’s possession-based, high-pressing approach (65% average possession) allows them to dominate early, having taken the lead inside the first half-hour in six of their seven Bundesliga matches. Bayern Munich look compact in defence and devastating in attack, with contributions from all areas of the pitch.
Borussia Mönchengladbach vs Bayern Munich Prediction
The gap between these sides could not be wider. Borussia Mönchengladbach’s confidence and structure have collapsed, while Bayern Munich are firing on all cylinders. With Kane in lethal form and Kompany’s system clicking, another emphatic win for the champions looks inevitable.
