Borussia Monchengladbach-Bayern Munich is a match of the third day of Bundesliga and is played on Saturday at 18:30: TV, formations, predictions.
The defeat, albeit a very heavy one, suffered in the German Super Cup against Leipzig had fans worried ahead of the championship. And instead Bayern Munich, which in the meantime added a player of Harry Kane’s caliber to its roster – arriving from Tottenham for more than 100 million – quickly overcame that disappointment.
After two days it is on full points with Union Berlin, Bayer Leverkusen, Wolfsburg and Freiburg, proving that you always have to reckon with the Bavarians in the end. The “victims” so far of Thomas Tuchel’s battleship have been Werder Bremen, scrambled 4-0 at home – goals and assists from the English striker, who presented himself as best he could – and Augsburg (3-1) in which the former Spurs center forward even scored a brace, starting to climb the goalscoring charts. The double affirmation and the seven total goals scored are oxygen for the former Psg and Chelsea coach, who took over last year in the ongoing league. Yes, because after the lesson received by Leipzig Tuchel had ended up at the center of criticism: they had brought up last season’s disappointing finish, which was about to cost the title (later won thanks to a resounding suicide by Borussia Dortmund).
Bavaresi against their black beast
For Bayern now comes the challenge what in recent years has been in effect its black beast: Borussia Monchengladbach.
Wober (right) against Bayer Leverkusen
The Folhens, and especially Borussia Park, have been a veritable taboo for the Bavarians for a few seasons now, who have failed to beat them for no less than five official matches (3 wins, 2 draws). Will this be the case this time as well? We shall see. Meanwhile, Borussia did not get off on the right foot, quite the contrary. Only one point in two matches for ‘Gladbach, which after a pyrotechnic draw (4-4) at home to Augsburg lost sharply in front of its own crowd (0-3) to Bayer Leverkusen. The feeling is that in light of the many changes made in the summer, coach Seoane will need time to start a new cycle.
The prediction
The precedents say that Bayern Munich has not expelled this stadium now since 2019. And we trust the kabbalah: it is not out of the question that Borussia Monchengladbach will win at least a point against the Bavarians, in a match of at least three goals in total. Kane, who appeared immediately inspired, should in any case find his way to goal again.
