Monchengladbach vs Bayern preview

Marco Rose's side have been quite inconsistent in the Bundesliga this season. Monchengladbach have managed five wins, six draws and three defeats in their 14 games so far. However, they did get off to a positive start in the New Year after recording a 1-0 win over Arminia last weekend. Gladbach are currently seventh in the Bundesliga standings, four points adrift of Champions League qualification positions and will be hoping to string together a bunch of positive results. 

On the other hand, Hansi Flick's Bayern Munich will be hoping to extend their winning run to four games on Friday night. The Bavarians are currently at the summit of the Bundesliga table with 33 points from 14 games. Bayern have lost just one domestic league game this season and have already scored 44 goals in the German top division. The European Champions showed their powers of recovery last weekend after recording a 5-2 win over Mainz.
