Bayern Munich
- FC Bayern Munich are on a 5-match winning streak in the Bundesliga, beating Eintracht Frankfurt (3-2) and Borussia Dortmund (3-2) in their last two.
- Bayern Munich are the runaway leaders of the Bundesliga with 63 points from 24 matches and they will be looking for a win at home to Borussia Monchengladbach on Friday.
- Vincent Kompany has been putting a very high-structure, possession-based system on his Bayern team, with fluid, morphing shapes and a relentless pressing approach.
Borussia Mönchengladbach
Gladbach are in mid-table in 12th position with 25 points from 24 matches and are struggling for consistency under coach Eugen Polanski.
Head-to-Head
- This should be a fascinating tactical clash between two coaches with different ideas and approaches, although it’s not just about tactics when Bayern take the field as Kompany has instilled an intensity and fluidity in this side that has seen them win their last 5 Bundesliga games, including 3-2 wins over Eintracht Frankfurt and Borussia Dortmund.
- The last 3 meetings between these teams have all been won by Bayern, who thrashed Gladbach 3-0 in the Bundesliga away from home only four months ago.
Key Players
- In Harry Kane, Bayern have the form striker in the world right now, netting 30 Bundesliga goals in 24 games and scoring 9 of their last 16 goals.
- Jamal Musiala is the other major threat, creating and finishing with his dribbling, while Leroy Sané adds pace and flair to the right-hand side of the attack, stretching defenders and creating countless assists.
- Tabakovic is the team’s top scorer with 11 Bundesliga goals and has scored half of his team’s last 4 goals in the past 5 matches, making him a good pick for an anytime goal.
Betting Insights
The Over 2.5 goals line is 1.22 , so it’s likely to be a goal-fest and both teams to score is favoured at 1.77 , but Bayern should win at around 1.13 .
Prediction
Gladbach have won only 3 and lost 6 of their 12 away Bundesliga matches, so I’m backing Bayern to get a high-scoring home win in this game.
