A season-opener in 2021 and as has been the case in recent matches it was Borussia Mönchengladbach who took the lead, an Alassane Plea strike.

Borussia Mönchengladbach vs Bayern Munich what to expect

Based on current form you would expect Bayern Munich to win and Borussia Monchengladbach to concede a hatful of goals – such as been the contrasting starts to the season for both sides. However, recent history has suggested that Gladbach have become something of a bogey team for the reigning German champions which makes this an intriguing match up. Overall with new signing Harry Kane hitting the ground running you would expect Bayern to end up taking all three points even if they can’t keep a clean sheet.
