Borussia Monchengladbach vs Bayern Munich Preview

• Date: Saturday, January 11
• Kick-off Time: 5:30 pm GMT
• Venue: BORUSSIA-PARK, Mönchengladbach, Germany

Borussia Monchengladbach and Bayern Munich will come up against each other in one of the biggest fixtures in the German football calendar on Saturday evening at BORUSSIA-PARK. Monchengladbach are currently in eighth spot with 24 points from 15 games. Bayern Munich, on the other hand, is at its usual place, at the summit, enjoying a four-point lead over the defending champions, Bayer Leverkusen. The Borussia Monchengladbach vs Bayern Munich fixture has always produced high-scoring encounters and is renowned for being a cause of issue for Bayern Munich.

Inconsistencies and mixed results have marked the recent matches of Borussia Monchengladbach. In the last six games, the club has managed three victories along with two draws and a defeat. During this period, Monchengladbach has scored 12 goals and conceded eight. In the last campaign, the club finished in an underwhelming manner in 14th place. The supporters are demanding a proper response and much better accomplishments from the players as well as the coaching staff. A finish in the top half of the table will be considered a significant improvement within the club’s management.

This will be Bayern Munich’s first competitive fixture since the turn of the year. Bayern crushed RB Leipzig 5-1 in the last contest before the holidays and has since participated in a club friendly against RB Salzburg. Vincent Kompany still has his fair share of doubters at the club but there is no denying the fact that the Belgian is implementing an entertaining and high-risk approach at the Allianz Arena. This is reflected in Bayern’s attacking output this season, with 21 goals in the last five matches. The Bavarians are on a mission to reclaim their lost throne as the undisputed German champions.
