Bayern Munich v Borussia Monchengladbach: Prediction, Tips and Odds

It may be a case of mission complete for Bayern Munich, who secured the Bundesliga title last weekend, but there is still plenty to be decided up and down Germany's top division.

And while Vincent Kompany will want his newly crowned champions to finish the season on a positive note in their last two games, this week's opponents Borussia Monchengladbach still have a slender chance of making the European places.

Gladbach sit ninth going into their penultimate game and trail the top six by five points, meaning they will have to win both of their final matches and hope other results go their way in order to qualify for Europe.

In reality, that seems unlikely but Gerardo Seoane's side have nonetheless looked much-improved this term and they can be expected to fight until the very end.

Bayern Munich v Borussia Monchengladbach betting tips and predictions

Over 1.5 Borussia Monchengladbach goals - 12/5

Those unsure of what kind of game to expect at the Allianz Arena on Saturday need only look at the fact that over 2.5 goals is priced at 1/6. In short, it should be a high-scoring and entertaining matchup.

And there is still value to be had in backing goals with Gladbach a good wager at 12/5 to score at least twice.

That is something they have done in each of their last three Bundesliga assignments, against Borussia Dortmund, Holstein Kiel and Hoffenheim, and they are also unlikely to hold back in Bavaria.

With 55 goals scored and 54 conceded in the Bundesliga this season, Gladbach can be a bit of a chaotic side and have shown they can hurt any team going forwards, having scored more than Freiburg and Leipzig this term.

Former Heidenheim ace Tim Kleindienst has been particularly impressive, scoring 16 goals and laying on seven assists, and he can cause problems for a Bayern defence which has looked permeable of late.

Indeed, Bayern have kept just two clean sheets in their last nine matches, allowing Bochum, St Pauli, Dortmund and Leipzig to score two goals or more and Gladbach can follow suit.

Both teams to score in second half - 6/4

Another goals angle to consider is both teams to score in the second half at 6/4, which is a better value pick than both teams to score in the match at 4/7.

Bayern have plundered 93 goals in the Bundesliga this season with 58 per cent of their goals coming in the second half, and all three of their goals against Leipzig came after the break last Saturday.

As for Gladbach, they scored twice and conceded three goals in the second half in their pulsating 4-4 draw with Hoffenheim last time out, so expect the goals to flow after the break at the Allianz Arena.

Julian Weigl to be carded - 11/4

Perhaps the best player bet in this game is Gladbach midfielder Julian Weigl to be carded at 11/4.

Weigl was one of three Gladbach players to be cautioned against Bayern Munich earlier this year and could again struggle to keep tabs on Bayern's dynamic midfield.

No Gladbach player has picked up more yellow cards than Weigl (seven) this season and he looks a decent pick to be carded in what could be a high-intensity fixture.
