The late Bundesliga kick-off on Saturday sees Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen host Borussia Monchengladbach at the BayArena.
Bayer extended their excellent run last time outDie Werkself recorded a last-gasp 3-2 win at RB Leipzig last time out, courtesy of a goal from defender Piero Hincapie. The game saw Xabi Alonso’s team record a fourth straight league victory.
The game also continued Bayer’s recent strong attacking displays in the Bundesliga, as they have scored at least two goals in three of their last four matches in the German top flight.
Leverkusen have been strong in defence, keeping three clean sheets in their last four games in the Bundesliga.
The recent good form has seen Bayer move four points clear of reigning German champions Bayern Munich at the top of the Bundesliga table.
Bayer has turned the BayArena into a fortress of late in the German top-flight, as they are unbeaten in ten home league games, having recorded eight wins and two draws.
Foals struggling for wins in the BundesligaVictories have been rare for Monchengladbach lately, having won just one of their last five matches in the German top flight while suffering three losses in the poor run.
The poor recent run of league form has left Monchengladbach in the limbo of 12th place in the German top-flight table. They are eight points adrift of the European spots and nine points clear of the bottom three.
The Foals' recent league games have followed a high-scoring theme, as their last 13 matches in the Bundesliga have all produced over 2.5 goals.
Monchengladbach have been woeful travellers in the Bundesliga, failing to win in five games on their travels, having suffered four defeats, and picked up just one draw.
What am I backing?The bet I am backing is the home win, as Bayer Leverkusen have such a strong winning momentum, and they should be too good for the visitors.
