Borussia Monchengladbach vs. Bayern Munich: Match Preview, Odds & Prediction

At the helm If they want to defend their Bundesliga championship at the conclusion of the season and challenge Bayer Leverkusen for second place, Bayern Munich will need to continue their winning streak against Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday at Borussia Park.

With their 2-1 victory against Hoffenheim on December 21, Die Fohlen moved up to eighth position with 24 points, while Bayern remained four points ahead of Leverkusen in first place with 36 points after their 5-1 victory over RB Leipzig on December 20.

Previous Matches and Head to head

Considering Hoffenheim only had one decent opportunity despite facing five, and the home team let in roughly 3.5 xG, they may have been lucky to come out on top.

We have to be courageous, but not foolish," manager Gerardo Seoane said in the lead-up to his team's match against Bayern. Knowing when to push higher and put pressure on the opponent is crucial. Compared to this elite squad, we will likely have less possession.

With fourteen goals scored in seven games, Die Fohlen are riding high. They have won four, drawn two, and lost one of their last seven matches.

But in their previous eleven games in all competitions, Seoane's squad has preserved just two clean sheets and has allowed six goals in their last four games.

With five victories in their last six games played at Borussia Park, Borussia Monchengladbach has an outstanding home record.

Bayern, the visiting team, dominated Leipzig in their last match, scoring three goals by the 36th minute and holding Die Roten Bullen to only 0.14 xG after Benjamin Sesko's goal in the second minute of the first half. They will be looking to continue their dominance in Saturday's match.

"What I've experienced with Bayern has been victories, defeats - good performances, bad performances - you learn from that," Bavarians manager Vincent Kompany said after the win, reflecting optimistically on his first half a year as coach. With each step we've made so far, I've felt more at ease.

It's also about overcoming difficult times. We won seven games in a row after our match against Barcelona. After the game, there was a lot of external pressure, which was understandable, but on the inside, everyone was cool. When our injured players return, our already high quality will be much more apparent.

They are on pace to score their most goals in a single league season since the 1964–65 campaign, and Kompany has every right to be happy of his attacking coaching. They have scored 47 goals in only 15 top-flight games.

With 13 goals allowed in the Bundesliga, Der FCB has the best defensive record in the league. They also have an 18-goal advantage over Leverkusen.

I should mention that Bayern have lost once and drew once in their past four league games, but they have only lost once in their last fifteen games in the top tier.

Furthermore, the Bavarians have excellent road record, having won four of their last six road matches while drawing one and losing one.

The hosts' impressive record at Borussia Park makes Die Fohlen an intriguing opponent for Bayern to face, but with their offensive prowess, Kompany is sure his team can come out on top.

The Bavarians could have trouble penetrating Borussia Monchengladbach's low block at the start of the match, but after they take the lead, they'll have a much easier time generating scoring chances since their opponents will have to open up more space behind their defense to try to score an equalizer.
