Bayer Leverkusen vs Borussia Monchengladbach Predictions

Goals expected at the BayArena

Saturday’s clash between Bayer Leverkusen and Monchengladbach at BayArena promises goals. Both teams have been involved in high-scoring games of late, and with Bayer Leverkusen having scored in 48 of their last 50 league games, backing over 2.5 goals looks the way to go.

Bayer Leverkusen are second in the Bundesliga, nine places and 14 points above 11th-placed Monchengladbach. Leverkusen have won 11 of their 17 games this season, while the visitors have seven wins, three draws and seven losses.

Bayer Leverkusen are unbeaten in their last ten Bundesliga meetings with Monchengladbach and are going for an eighth successive league win. They have avoided defeat in nine of their last ten home games in the Bundesliga, enjoying success in six of the last eight.

With seven of Bayer Leverkusen’s nine home games this season going over 2.5 goals, and three or more goals in 13 of their last 16 at home, Saturday’s clash promises plenty of action. There have also been over 2.5 goals in four of Monchengladbach’s last six on the road.

Monchengladbach’s defence has looked vulnerable of late, with the visitors conceding in each of their last three Bundesliga away games. This should give Bayer Leverkusen plenty of encouragement going forward.

Bayer Leverkusen have won their last four league games at home and have been winners by three goals or more on three occasions this season. They are expected to secure a comfortable victory, so take 3-0 in the correct-score betting.
