Bayern Munich vs Borussia Monchengladbach prediction, preview, team news, and more | Bundesliga 2020-21
Bayern Munich host Borussia Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga on Saturday, with a win securing Hansi Flick's side the league title.
Bayern had to postpone their title celebrations last time out after their shock 2-1 loss against Mainz. But Flick will want to make sure of their victory when they take on Gladbach on Saturday.
The Bavarians were on a four-game unbeaten streak across all competitions prior to losing against Mainz. It now seems inevitable that Hansi Flick's side will win their 31st Bundesliga title.
Meanwhile, Borussia Monchengladbach's recent resurgence in form has put them back in the race for the top six.
Gladbach have only lost one of their last six league games and are currently seventh in the table, four points off Bayer Leverkusen in sixth. They may have left it late, but Marco Rose could possibly be leaving the club on a high at the end of the season.
Bayern Munich could be crowned champions on Saturday, but Gladbach have the quality in their side to postpone the Bavarians' celebrations a further week.
Bayern Munich vs Borussia Monchengladbach Head-to-Head
Bayern Munich have a slight edge over Borussia Monchengladbach in the recent head-to-head record between the two sides. The Bavarians have won three of their last five league meetings, with Gladbach winning two.
Rose's side did, however, beat Bayern 3-2 in the reverse fixture earlier this season.
