Preview

Bayern Munich will be looking to strengthen their position at the top of the table further as they take on Borussia Monchengladbach at home on Friday. The defending Bundesliga champions have a nine-point lead at the top of the table currently from second-placed Borussia Dortmund. They are averaging less than a goal conceded per match and have scored the most number of goals among all teams this season as well. Monchengladbach, on the other hand, are going through a poor run of form. They have lost four out of their last five matches and thus have slipped down to the 14th spot in the table. Although they have been scoring a good number of goals, their defense has been very poor and that isnt allowing them to win any match.
