Borussia Monchengladbach have the chance to rise into the Europa League slots when they host table topping Bayern Munich in the 15th round of the German Bundesliga on Friday. Heading to this game, the hosts are on 21 points and in seventh place while Bayern top the standings with 33 points garnered so far. Monchengladbach have registered two straight wins going to this game, the latest being a 1-0 victory over lowly Arminia Bielefeld. The two wins are all the team has in the last eight matches and they have not done well in defence, having managed just three clean sheets in their last 12 matches. In their 22 matches this season, they have scored in 20, which is pretty consistent, and they have scored at least two goals in six of their last 10 matches. However, the team has conceded two or more goals in five of their last eight games and this has a lot to do with the fact that seven of their last 10 matches have seen over 2.5 goals scored. A lot of improvement is needed at home too; Monchengladbach have no win in their last three home matches – they have lost two and drawn one. In the last four home matches also, they have no clean sheet, but they have scored in all their last 10 home games, while keeping two clean sheets in the process. Among the top seven teams after 14 rounds, Monchengladbach have the worst defensive form, having conceded 22 goals.

Bayern Munich on the other hand, head to this game unbeaten in their last 20 matches, winning 16. They have four wins in their last five matches and will be the favorites here, given they carry a six-game unbeaten run away from home in the Bundesliga, winning five. Bayern have trailed in their last four matches, but have recovered and won three of those then drew one. Robert Lewandowski has been crucial in the comebacks, as he has been all through his Bayern Munich career. The Pole has scored seven goals in the last four matches and he is currently the lead scorer in the league with 19 goals. The team has scored two or more goals in 19 of its 23 matches this season, but has just one clean sheet in the last 14 matches. The fact that 12 of their last 14 matches have produced over 2.5 goals is attributed to this factor. Bayern have scored two or more goals in five of their last six away matches in the league and head to head with Monchengladbach, each side has three wins in the last six meetings. Bayern have kept no clean sheet in the last six meetings with Monchengladbach.
