Borussia Mönchengladbach
Borussia Mönchengladbach are in a frustrating patch. Last week’s 1-1 draw at home to Werder Bremen saw a stoppage-time equalizer cancel out Haris Tabaković’s opener, leaving the Foals stuck in mid-table mediocrity.
Borussia Mönchengladbach have won only once in their last six games and remain winless in four, drawing twice and losing twice.
Home form hasn’t been inspiring either: just two wins from ten matches this season (against Köln and Augsburg), and two defeats in their last three home games.
Confidence and cutting edge are both lacking, and Borussia Mönchengladbach need a strong display to challenge a sharp Bayer Leverkusen side.
Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen are in good form, and confidence is high. Four wins in their last six Bundesliga matches, including back-to-back victories against Werder Bremen (1-0) and Eintracht Frankfurt (3-1), show a team hitting their stride.
Their midweek DFB Pokal 3-0 win over St.Pauli continued that momentum, and Kasper Hjulmand’s side are looking sharp, cohesive, and hard to break down.
Bayer Leverkusen have also been improving on the road, winning two of their last three away fixtures. Their attack is balanced, efficient, and capable of punishing mistakes, making them tough opposition for a struggling Borussia Mönchengladbach.
The Betting Verdict
Borussia Mönchengladbach have yet to beat a top-half team this season, and Bayer Leverkusen are undefeated in their last 12 matches against the Foals (nine wins, three draws) — their longest unbeaten run against any Bundesliga team.
This looks like a game where Bayer Leverkusen’s class and momentum should prevail. I expect a tight but controlled performance from the visitors, with Bayer Leverkusen to win and goals likely at both ends.
