Monchengladbach vs Bayern: Preview, Free Tip & Prediction

12.08.2021 11:00

The Bundesliga title defence for Bayern Munich kicks off on Friday night with a visit to Borrusia Park. Both teams enter the new season with new managers at the helm and it will be extremely interesting to see how both managers handle the new challenge.

Background information, news and team form

The last time Bayern Munich came to Borrusia Park, they had to endure a 3-2 defeat, when the reigning champion scored the first 2 goals, but midfielder Hofmann equalised in the last ten minutes of the first half and Germany's Florian Neuhaus sealed the fate early in the second half, but the Bavarians then made amends at home with a 6-0 home demolition. As far as preparation is concerned, Bayern did not do so well. They did not win any of the four preliminary matches, and only in one of them did they manage at least a draw.

On the other hand, the colts can consider their preparation quite successful. Although they were unable to win their first two matches, the team slowly started to settle down in the next three games and the team from the North Rhine managed to win, including a 2-0 victory against Die Rotten at Munich's Alianz Arena. Another thing that plays into the home team's hands is the fact that they have already played their first tough game of the season, against Kaiserlautern, where they managed to win 0-1 after Lars Stindl's 11th-minute goal in the German DFB Pokal.

 

 

Betdoin view of the match

The bookmakers are favouring the away team in this match. As far as the goal lines are concerned, they are around 3.5/3.75 this time. If we look into our algorithm, we can see from the statistics that due to such high goal lines, the value lies in the under bets for the second half or the number of goals scored by Monchengladbach, who is always dangerous to play at home.

 

 

Absentees and estimated line-ups

Borussia Monchengladbach enters the season with a number of complications in the form of injured players: strikers Breel Embolo and Marcus Thuram are still recovering from their health woes, as well as, the pair of young defenders Doucoure and Bensebaini. The start of the newly arrived French midfielder Kouadio Kone from Toulouse is still in question.

Bayern's trio of Lewandowski, Kimmich and Neuer has returned to training after their Euro 2020 travels, and coach Nagelsmann will be able to select them for his line-up. The other trio of Alphonso Davies, Kingsley Coman and Correntin Tolisso are also returning from long-term injuries, but it is questionable how quickly the German manager will want to bring them back into the match load. Two players Julian will definitely not be able to count on are Lucas Hernandez, who has a knee problem, and Marc Roca, who injured his ankle.

Monchengladbach - estimated line-up:

Sommer - Lainer Ginter, Elvedi, Scally - Kramer, Neuhaus - Hofmann, Stindl, Wolf - Plea

Bayern - estimated line-up:

Neuer - Sule, Nianzou, Upamecano, Stanisic; Kimmich, Goretzka - Gnabry, Muller, Sane - Lewandowski
