Preview of Monchengladbach vs Bayern Munich

The 1-3 defeat to Union Berlin in the previous round exposed serious defensive flaws in Monchengladbach. Despite controlling 63% of possession and having moments of dominance, their defensive instability led to another setback. Haris Tabaković was a rare bright spot with a consolation goal, but it was too little to change the outcome.

In their last 6 matches, Monchengladbach have conceded 15 goals, averaging over 2.5 goals against per game — a clear sign of defensive vulnerability. Even more concerning, the Borussia-Park side has failed to win at home in 7 consecutive Bundesliga matches, gradually eroding fan confidence.

Head-to-head stats also do not favor Monchengladbach. In 6 meetings with Bayern Munich since 2022, they have only won once, losing four times and drawing once. The team that once troubled Bayern no longer holds that status.

In stark contrast to their inconsistent opponent, Bayern Munich are showing formidable strength under coach Vincent Kompany. In the midweek Champions League, the "Red Giants" crushed Club Brugge 4-0 with an outstanding attacking display. Lennart Karl, Harry Kane, Luis Díaz, and Nicolas Jackson all scored, highlighting their scoring versatility.

Bayern currently boast a 12-match unbeaten streak away in the Bundesliga, mostly with convincing wins. Notably, they have scored 25 goals in their last 6 games, averaging more than 4 goals per match — a testament to their superior offensive power.

In the last 6 encounters between these two teams, Bayern has won 4, drawn 1, and lost only once. In the previous season's return leg, the "Red Giants" secured a 2-0 victory thanks to goals from Harry Kane and Michael Olise — both remain key players in Kompany’s system.

With contrasting form and a stronger squad, Bayern Munich is expected to dominate the game from the start. Monchengladbach might leverage home advantage to score a consolation goal, but it’s unlikely to prevent defeat.
