B. Monchengladbach vs Bayern Munich prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-01-10 17:30.
[p]Unbeaten in their last three matches before the winter break, European hopefuls Borussia Mönchengladbach will be aiming to kick 2025 off in style with a positive result against leaders Bayern Munich. Widely regarded as one of Bayern’s bogey teams, Gladbach avoided defeat in five of the last seven H2Hs, albeit slipping to defeat in the last two (W3, D2). [/p]
[p]Much of Gladbach’s success this season has stemmed from their impressive home league record (W5, D1, L2), a return bettered only by three sides ahead of the restart. Drawing first blood may be crucial for the Foals then as they hold the strongest 100% winning record when scoring the opener at home so far this season (W6). For all of the positives, Gladbach are outsiders for a reason and they are yet to beat any top-six side in the league this season (D3, L2). [/p]
[p]Sitting pretty four points clear at the top of the table, Bayern Munich will need to improve on their inconsistent form heading into Christmas (W2, D1, L1) if they’re to maintain their title tilt in the second half of the campaign. Scoring a league-high 47 times after 15 rounds, Vincent Kompany’s ruthless side have unsurprisingly seen nine of their 11 wins come by multi-goal margins, including by a 4+ goal margin in five.[/p]
[p]Despite failing to win three of their last five away league games (D2, L1), the Rekordmeister went into the break with the best away record in the division. Maintaining that status is far from guaranteed, as Bayern’s last six trips to Borussia-Park produced just one win (D1, L4), with Gladbach the opponent they have their lowest away league win rate against among current Bundesliga sides they’ve faced more than once (25% – W14, D19, L23). [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Tim Kleindienst has proven a menace in the air for Gladbach, with the club’s top league scorer (G9) netting three of his last four goals with his head. Sitting level with him on nine league goals is Bayern’s Jamal Musiala, who will hope to break his duck against Gladbach here as they are one of just two current Bundesliga sides he is yet to score against. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Gladbach boss Gerardo Seoane has seen his sides score exactly once in four of his five touchline meetings with Bayern (D1, L4). [/p]
