In the last direct encounter between these two teams, the Rhinelanders celebrated an exciting 3-2 away win, which impressively underlines Bayer’s dominance in the last duels. Overall, the head-to-head record of the last five matches speaks clearly for Leverkusen, who have won three of their last duels and drawn twice, while Mönchengladbach have not been able to achieve a single win during this time. These statistics give the home side extra confidence to retain the three points at home.
Leverkusen go into the game with the momentum from their last game, a convincing 1-0 win against Mainz 05. This performance not only strengthened their defense, but also boosted the players’ self-confidence. Coach Xabi Alonso will do everything in his power to keep concentration high and prepare his team optimally for the opponent. With players like Patrick Schick and Florian Wirtz, the Werkself have creative offensive forces that are able to pose significant problems for the Gladbach defense line.
The situation at Borussia Mönchengladbach is different. The Fohlenelf had to admit defeat to VfL Wolfsburg with a painful 1:5 in their last game. This defeat not only damaged the team’s confidence, but also raised questions about the stability of the defense. Coach Gerardo Seoane faces the challenge of getting his team back on the road to success and presenting the fans with a convincing game. Striker Tim Kleindienst could return to the starting lineup after suffering from stomach flu.
Despite the different starting positions of both teams, an exciting duel is expected on Saturday at the BayArena. The Leverkusen team want to continue their winning streak, while the Gladbach team are doing everything they can to get back in the fight for important points. Fans who follow the game in the stadium or on the screen can look forward to an exciting highlight of the first half of the Bundesliga.
