Borussia Monchengladbach vs Bayern Munich Predictions

• Five of Bayern’s last eight away games and five of BMG’s last eight home games have gone over 3.5 goals
• Bayern Munich have scored at least three goals in five of their eight away league games this season
• Borussia Monchengladbach conceded three at home to Leverkusen and Stuttgart earlier this season
• Bayern’s relentless nature was on show in this week’s 6-0 friendly win over Salzburg

Bayern set to resume Bundesliga goal spree

Bayern Munich look likely to come flying out of the traps when they get back to serious business after the Christmas break against Borussia Monchengladbach. The Bavarians scored 47 goals in their opening 15 games of the campaign and remain on course to break their own single-season goalscoring record of 101 set in 1971-72.

Borussia-Park has not been a particularly happy hunting ground for the Bundesliga leaders in recent times but Vincent Kompany’s side are like a juggernaut at the moment and rolled over Salzburg 6-0 in a friendly this week.

Monchengladbach currently sit in eighth place, only three points off the top four, so they will be targeting a Champions League place if they can sustain their excellent home form.

Foals can surprise

The Foals have won five of their last six games at Borussia-Park and, coupled with their decent record against Bayern, that makes this game tougher to call.

A recent record of three wins, two draws, and one defeat in their last six matches reflects an unpredictability that could catch Bayern out. Gerardo Seone’s side drew 0-0 at RB Leipzig and held Dortmund 1-1 at their place during that sequence so this may not be a straightforward road win.

There is a potential for a high-scoring clash with five of the last nine Bundesliga meetings between the sides having feature over 3.5 goals. Five of Bayern’s last eight away games and five of BMG’s last eight home games have featured at least four goals too.
