Borussia Monchengladbach
Borussia Monchengladbach are going through crisis at the moment. Last weekend they suffered an unexpected 0-3 home defeat against Wolfsburg, which was their third game in row without victory. Interestingly they won all of their first 9 home games this season, but lost each of the last two against Hertha Berlin and Wolfsburg with identical 0-3.
Borussia Monchengladbach were the only side that managed to beat Bayern Munich in Munich this season, beating them with 0-3 in the seventh round of the season. Interestingly, their recent record against the Bavarians has been pretty good in the recent years. Borussia Monchengladbach are the only Bundesliga team with a positive record against Bayern Munich since 2014, beating them 4 times, drawing 2 games and losing 3 matches.
One of the reasons for Borussia Monchengladbach`s recent slump in results is their poor scoring. They managed to score just 6 goals since winter break and their team captain and once best scorer –Lars Stindl has not scored in 11 consecutive matches.
Bayern Munich
Bayern Munich recorded narrow 1-0 win over Hertha Berlin last week, which was their third straight win and 10th victory in the last 11 Bundesliga games. Their recent performances were exceptional and they will likely be very motivated to win here and stay close to Borussia Dortmund at the top.
Bayern Munich are the best away side this season, winning in 9 of their 12 away games. Most of their away games produced plenty of goals scored, with each of their last 9 away games ending with 3 or more goals scored. In 8 of their last 9 away games they scored twice.
For this match Bayern Munich will be without Kingsley Coman, who is out with a thigh injury. All other players are fresh, fit and ready to play.
The Betting Verdict
This is a derby game at the top of the Bundesliga, with both sides very motivated for a victory against their big rivals.
Bayern Munich are overall the better side, but Borussia Monchengladbach have been great at home this season and their recent record against the Bavarians has been positive.
This game can go either way and we are likely to see some goals. Instead backing a winner, in this match I would go with backing both teams to score.
