Bayer Leverkusen
Kasper Hjulmand came as a coach and made an instant impact after replacing Ten Hag. His team comfortably beat Eintracht Frankfurt 3-1 last week, even though they ended the match with two players sent off. Robert Andrich and Ezequiél Fernández are now both suspended for this game.
However, Bayer Leverkusen looked rejuvenated and very lively last week, with Alejandro Grimaldo scoring two wonderful free-kick goals, becoming only the eighth player in Bundesliga history to score at least twice from free-kicks within a game.
Last Thursday, Bayer Leverkusen were involved in the Champions League, where they played a 2-2 away draw against FC Copenhagen. They were solid but a bit lucky to earn a point, as it came with an own goal in the last minute of the match.
Anyhow, the truth is that Bayer Leverkusen plays much better now with a new coach, and we should see that again in this match.
Borussia Monchengladbach
Borussia Monchengladbach are terrible. That’s the easiest way to describe them. It was obvious they would struggle after playing a bore goalless draw against newcomers Hamburger SV in the first round.
After that, they got defeated 1-0 by VfB Stuttgart and 0-4 at home last week against Werder Bremen. That awful home defeat last week led to the sacking of their head coach, Gerardo Seoane, who oversaw the last 10 winless games of his team.
Even more shocking than that is that Borussia Monchengladbach have failed to score in any of their last 5 games!
The Betting Verdict
Bayer Leverkusen have enjoyed playing and regularly beating Borussia Monchengladbach in recent years.
Incredibly, Bayer Leverkusen in 11 straight duels against Borussia Monchengladbach, beating them twice last season.
Borussia Monchengladbach are in shambles. There are no quick fixes, even though they start with a new coach.
Bayer Leverkusen looked much better in their last two competitive games, scoring goals and having fun on the field again.
Overall, Bayer Leverkusen should be too good for Borussia Monchengladbach and extend the unbeaten series to 12 games against them. Back Bayer Leverkusen to win at fair odds.
