The chase for Germany’s Bundesliga title is one of the most exciting in Europe right now, with just three points separating table topper Borussia Dortmund and defending champion Bayern Munich. On Saturday, Bayern faces a potentially tricky trip to take on Borussia Monchengladbach, which sits third in the table but has suffered an alarming dip in form over the last few weeks.
- Borussia Monchengladbach has lost its last two home matches in the Bundesliga.
- Bayern Munich has won its last three league games in a row.
- Bayern Munich has won 11 of the last 25 meetings between these two teams.

Borussia must try to stop the rot
Things are not exactly going swimmingly for Borussia Monchengladbach right now. Having taken just one point from the last nine available means they are now a massive 13 points off the top of the table and can no longer be considered genuine title contenders this season. To make matters worse, they are now just a point ahead of RB Leipzig in fourth, and RB Leipzig could overtake them this weekend, depending on how results go.
Bayern Munich, in stark contrast, appears very much to be on the up and up. They have won 10 of their last 11 league outings and have cut Borussia Dortmund’s lead at the top of the table to just three points, with the two rivals set to lock horns in early April.
Back to this match and it is Bayern Munich that comes into the clash as the red-hot favorite to take all three points. You can back the champions to win at just -200 while Borussia Monchengladbach, despite home advantage, is out at +500 to get back to winning ways. A draw is priced in the middle at +333.
Bayern should cruise to victory
It is no secret that Borussia Monchengladbach appears to be in free fall right now, while Bayern Munich is intent on catching Dortmund in first place. We are therefore expecting Bayern to record a comfortable win on the road, and while it can be a tough task trying to predict the exact score in football matches, a 2-0 win for the visitors is priced at +800 and could well be worth backing when you look at the recent form of these teams.
Such a result would then also allow you to back UNDER 2.5 goals in the game, which is priced at +162, as well as a “No” to both teams scoring, which comes in at +125. However, if you are looking to push those winnings even higher, then you may wish to employ a method known as combo betting, which allows you to back multiple outcomes at higher odds.
For example, a combo bet of a Bayern Munich win, coupled with a “No” to both teams scoring, is at the higher price of +200, while an away victory and UNDER 3.5 goals in the game is at +175. UNDER 2.5 goals and a “no” to both teams scoring is highest of all at +240.
Bayern should dominate from start to finish
Given Borussia’s dip in form over the last three weeks, we are fully expecting Bayern Munich to dominate this contest from the very first whistle. They are priced at +200 to win this game to nil (without Borussia scoring a goal) and this could well be a long afternoon for the hosts.
Bayern is priced at just +110 to score in both halves and +275 to actually go out and win both halves. With 10 wins in their last 11 league outings, it would be a brave person who bet against Bayern winning this league encounter without a little panache.
In terms of goalscorers, Thomas Muller is keen on breaking from midfield and could well be on the scoresheet here. The World Cup Sportsbook is at +125 to score at any time, while you can back him at +500 to score either the first or the last goal of the game. Expect Bayern to record a routine victory without breaking into too much of a sweat.
