Follow on for our free prediction and betting tips.
Borussia Monchengladbach in search of a better campaign
New coach Adi Hutter will face the challenge of getting Borussia Monchengladbach back in the top ranks. Die Fohlen finished in the eighth position last term. As a result, Hutter’s team will not play in Europe and he has all the time to focus on the domestic competitions. And their campaign begins against the toughest of opponents Bayern Munich.
In the last three times that Gladbach opened a new Bundesliga campaign, they registered three clean sheets. Consequently, Die Fohlen have won two such matches and drew one. Coach Hutter’s pre-season started a bit shaky with a draw and a loss. But the team got better and won their next three matches including a win against Bayern Munich 2-0.
Gladbach Key Points
Who can stop Bayern Munich in Germany?
31-time Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich had extended their consecutive league wins to nine last season. The Bavarians are under the charge of new coach Julian Nagelsmann. The former RB Leipzig boss will be under pressure from the start to maintain Bayern’s dominance in German football. Moreover, the pre-season wasn’t encouraging after losing three matches and drawing one.
Bayern made no major signings and the nucleus of the team are the last term’s same players. Moreover, this team knows how to perform in away matches having collected 35 points on the road last season. In addition, the Bavarians won all nine away matches in which they were leading at halftime.
