Bayern Munich – Borussia M

The German champion will avenge a defiant rival for defeats in the last two meetings

The unbeaten German champion takes on the club that unexpectedly find themselves in second place after three rounds of play in the fourth round of the national league. "The fact that Bayern can not defeat Borussia Gladbach in the domestic league for the last year and suffered a humiliation in the German Cup that was unprecedented - a 5-0 defeat - adds spice to the game. The Munich club started the season like a real football hurricane. First, Leipzig scored three goals against Neuer in the German Super Cup, which did not save the Bulls from a 3-5 defeat. Then, Bayern scored a combined total of fifteen goals against Bochum, Wolfsburg and Eintracht. The Wolves were the most fortunate, conceding only twice. After Lewandowski's departure to Barcelona, there were many questions about how Nagelsmann would organise his team's attacking line. As you can see from the Champions' results, Mane, Gnabry, Musiala and company are doing fine without the Polish forward. How many more outings Bayern will be so "hungry" is difficult to understand, because last season the team allowed illogical defeats against not the strongest opponents. At the same time, they have no moral right to tune in poorly against Borussia, because they lost to the Gladbach side in their last two meetings. Borussia themselves failed last season, climbing up from the bottom of the standings to the tenth place in the second half of the season. The Gladbach side were not active on the transfer market, but they prepared well for the new season. Borussia got wins at home against Hoffenheim and Hertha, and they took one point from the away game against Schalke, conceding a penalty in the 90+3 minutes. Certainly Farke has established a team bond on the pitch, but in the German championship it is far from always the clubs' results and successful streaks that have any impact when they arrive in Munich for Bayern's "exorcism". Bookmakers are expecting a rout of the visitors in the upcoming encounter. Judging by the odds, analysts are predicting a win for the home side with a difference of 2-3 goals. Based on the Munich club's form, these predictions should be supported.
