Borussia Monchengladbach vs Bayern Munich Preview

Bayern Munich will look to continue their impressive start to the new Bundesliga season this Saturday when they take on struggling Borussia Monchengladbach.

The hosts have endured a miserable start to the league season with a winless start (D1, L1) and seven conceded in those two games. There was so much hope for them when they began their season with a 7-0 rout of lower-league opponents in the DFB-Pokal.

However, the high hopes have suddenly turned to concern for the Foals, which is hardly an ideal start for new manager Gerardo Seoane, especially as it was his old side Bayer Leverkusen who outclassed them 3-0 last weekend.

But despite their faltering form, a visit from the record champions Bayern Munich might not frighten the Foal’s who are incredibly unbeaten in five straight H2H clashes (W3, D2).

However, Thomas Tuchel-managed sides have scored at least three times in four straight H2Hs with Gladbach (W4), so the Bavarians travel to Borussia Park as the clear favourites.

The visitors have started the Bundesliga season brightly, with back-to-back wins featuring seven goals. Marquee summer signing Harry Kane has scored three of those goals, including twice in the Bavarian derby last weekend. The Englishman looks to have kick-started Bayern’s pursuit of a record-extending 12th consecutive Meisterschale. Tuchel will hope he will bring the goods this time as Bayern attempts to end their winless record against Gladbach.

Bayern are winless in their last five visits to Borussia Park. The Bavarians have also lost to Gladbach more than any other side in Bundesliga history (W51, D31, L28).
