Borussia Monchengladbach take on the visitors Bayer Leverkusen in the round 16 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Sunday, January 22nd at Borussia Park (Monchengladbach).
Borussia Monchengladbach have improved, but not as much as expected. The Foals remember very well how, under Rosa, they recently played in the playoffs of the Champions League. But Marco was lured to Dortmund, and everything went awry for this team. They finished 10th last season, and, of course, they wanted more. In order to achieve it, Daniel Farke was returned to his homeland. But even with him, the results are very contradictory. There is progress, but still they were waiting for almost a struggle for a place in the quartet of leaders. In fact, Borussia, with 5 wins and 22 points, is outside the European Cup zone in general. But 2 victories in 3 last, before the pause, rounds suggest optimism.

Bayer are trying to find their best football again. Leverkusen, after a series of failures, nevertheless found a specialist that could raise them back to the Champions League. Moreover, Gheorardo Seoane and his charges took 3rd place very confidently in his debut season in the Bundesliga. But the next draw started so badly that by mid-autumn they said goodbye to the Swiss. In Leverkusen, they relied on Xabi Alonso, a notable midfielder in the past, who played a lot in Germany for Bayern. The Spaniard is considered a promising mentor, but this is the 1st independent experience at the top level. And rather controversial: the ex-midfielder started with a crushing victory, but it was followed by many failures. However, in the end, the Germans won the dispute for 3rd place in the Champions League group and went to the playoffs of the Europa League. Yes, and in the domestic arena in November there were 3 wins out of 3 possible.
Bayer emerged victorious from all 5 recent meetings with Monchengladbach. We can agree with the experts that they consider the couple to be quite equal. Each side will fight for victory, so we are waiting for spectacular "over 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
