Bayern maintains the top spot in the Bundesliga standings, with a 4-point lead over their closest rival, Bayer.

Borussia Monchengladbach vs. Bayern: Match Prediction
Borussia has shown strong attacking performances at home in the Bundesliga, scoring in their last nine home matches in this tournament. During this stretch, they have found the net against formidable opponents like Bayer (2-3) and Borussia Dortmund (1-1). However, Gerardo Seoane's side occasionally makes defensive errors, conceding in 7 of their last 9 home league matches.
Bayern has also struggled to maintain a solid defense in away matches, conceding in 16 of their last 19 away Bundesliga games. However, their attacking prowess remains impressive, scoring in their last 15 away matches in this tournament, with at least two goals in 11 instances. As a result, both teams have scored in 12 of Bayern's last 15 away league matches.
Looking at the head-to-head record, both teams have scored in their last seven encounters at Borussia Monchengladbach's home ground in the Bundesliga. I believe both teams will find the back of the net in the upcoming match. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
