Borussia Park – Monchengladbach

Borussia Monchengladbach
Borussia Monchengladbach finished 2024 strongly, remaining unbeaten in five of their last six Bundesliga matches. They won their last two against Holstein Kiel (4-1) and TSG Hoffenheim (1-2), so they await this clash in a positive mood.
Borussia Monchengladbach has a surprisingly good recent home record against Bayern Munich, beating them four times in six games. However, they lost both duels against the Bavarians last season, 1-2 at home and 3-1 away.
Surprisingly, Borussia Monchengladbach has been a fantastic home team this season. They are unbeaten in six straight home matches and have won five times.
Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich starts 2025 with a four-point advantage over the current German champions Bayer Leverkusen, so it will be a close battle until the end. The Bavarians won four of their last six Bundesliga games, most recently beating RB Leipzig 5-1 in late December.
A few days ago, Bayern Munich won 6-0 against RB Leipzig in their last friendly before the Bundesliga resumes. That shows they are in good shape and eager to return the title to Munich after dropping it last season.
Bayern Munich has remained unbeaten in 14 of their 15 Bundesliga matches this season (11 wins), losing only to Mainz. That was also their only away defeat in eight games this season (five wins, two draws).
Jamal Musiala is ill and racing against time to be healthy enough to play in this match. Even if he is well, his usage in this game is questionable, as coach Kompany will likely rest him.
The Betting Verdict
Bayern Munich is in great shape before the league restart, so they should do well in Monchengladbach.
Borussia Monchengladbach have been their bogey opponents in the past few seasons, but I believe the Bavarians will start with a victory in a match with a few goals.
