Bayer Leverkusen vs Mönchengladbach Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga

Prediction published on 27/01/2024, 03:59  by Sridhar in Bundesliga Predictions

Bayer Leverkusen will look to keep their lead in tact at the top of Bundesliga standings when they host Borussia Monchengladbach this weekend. This matchday 19 will be played at the BayArena on Saturday. Ahead of this round, the hosts are top of the standings with 48 points while the visitors are 12th with 20 points. Leverkusen are four points ahead of Bayern and could see that cut down to one at kick-off as Bayern play before. That leaves a loss here out of the equation, as it would put their season under stress. Interestingly, Leverkusen are unbeaten so far, winning 15 and drawing three league games. Most of the heavy lifting is done at home where they have won all but one of their nine league games this season. The only exception is the 1-1 draw with Borussia Dortmund.

Borussia Monchengladbach are nine points above the bottom-three while their gap to top-six is 18 points. They have been inconsistent all through the season and are coming on the back of a 2-1 loss to Augsburg in the league. That was their third defeat across five games, with only a draw and a win in that sequence. They have proven to be masters of rebounding quickly, as Monchengladbach have lost consecutive league games just once in this season. The challenge is to adapt to the travels though, as the visitors have struggled for results on the road. They have lost four of their last five league matches away from home, only drawing once in that sequence. When the sides met earlier in the season, Monchengladbach lost 3-0, so there’s a lot to cover up on that front as well.
