THE PREDICTION

Bayern Munich’s first team squad have been ravaged by Covid-19 cases ahead of their return to Bundesliga action and Borussia Monchengladbach, who already boast a victory over Bayern this season in the DFB Pokal will fancy their chances of causing an upset. With home advantage in their favour, the reigning Bundesliga champions will still pose a huge attacking threat with Robert Lewandowski fully fit and set to lead the line with Thomas Muller and Serge Gnabry behind him. However, the hosts will be operating with a makeshift defence and Monchengladbach should create a number of chances themselves. Therefore, backing both teams to score appears the smart play in this one.
