B. Monchengladbach vs Bayern Munich Prediction & Betting Tips (11 January)

Almost halfway through the season, Mönchengladbach is in the right place to try to get a place in Europe. 8th at the start of this 16th day, Borussia is only 3 points behind on the podium, despite a rather average start to the year. But the Poulains have gradually accelerated in recent months to place themselves in ambush behind certain big names. Before the break, Alassane Pléa's partners were able to hold Borussia Dortmund in check 1-1 before achieving two rather convincing successes against Holstein Kiel 4-1 and Hoffenheim 1-2. Dispossessed of its German championship title which it had held for 12 years by Bayer Leverkusen last spring, Bayern Munich has every reason to hope to regain it this season.

Vincent Kompany's men are indeed firmly established in 1st place in the standings with a lead of 4 points over their first pursuer who is none other than Leverkusen. However, the Bavarians have still dropped points in recent days. Hanging in the Klassiker by Dortmund 1-1 , the FCB players were then beaten in Mainz 2-1 . In the meantime, they still did the job to win against Heidenheim 4-2 and RB Leipzig 5-1 on the last day.

Several elements from Gladbach will have to give up taking part in this meeting. This is the case of replacement goalkeeper Olschowsky, midfielder Neuhaus and replacement attackers Ranos, Borges Sanches and N'Goumou who are all in the infirmary at the moment. However, there are still some very good people in store on the Poulains side, starting with the formidable scorer Kleindienst, author of 9 goals and assists so far in the Bundesliga. Also to be monitored are the ex-Niçois Pléa (6 goals) and the ex-Brestois Honorat (2 goals, 4 assists). Opposite, the infirmary is crowded for Bayern Munich.

We find the starting goalkeeper Neuer, the defenders Ito, Buchamnn, Stanisic and Boey, the midfielder Palhinha, and the attackers Vidovic, Gnabry and Coman (3 goals, 2 assists). Furthermore, another French international will be absent this weekend. This concerns defender Dayot Upamecano who is suspended. Conversely, the very good Olise (5 goals, 5 assists) is there as well as the nugget Musiala (9 goals, 2 assists) and the formidable Harry Kane (14 goals, 5 assists).
