Match Stats

Borussia Monchengladbach:

After finishing 14th last season, the hosts are keen to improve on recent performances. They started the new campaign with a 3-1 win over Erzgebirge Aue in the DFB-Pokal but struggled against lower-tier opposition. Monchengladbach has faced a series of disappointing seasons since their fourth-place finish in 2019-20, with their recent form highlighting a slide towards relegation concerns. Despite a strong pre-season showing with seven consecutive wins, including friendlies, they have not won in their last six Bundesliga games at home.


Bayer Leverkusen:

Bayer Leverkusen, fresh from their German Super Cup triumph, travel to face Monchengladbach as reigning champions. Xabi Alonso's side clinched the Super Cup in a dramatic penalty shootout against Stuttgart after a 2-2 draw, showcasing their resilience and experience. Leverkusen’s unbeaten league campaign last season and their impressive record—scoring 89 goals and conceding only 24—make them a formidable opponent. Although they’ve had a mixed pre-season with one win in their last five matches, their away form remains strong, having won 14 of their last 17 Bundesliga away games. Alonso’s squad will look to continue their dominance as they begin their new Bundesliga campaign.


Prediction:  1-3
