Borussia M'gladbach vs Bayer Levekusen Betting Tips and Predictions

Borussia M’gladbach, who have the third worst away form in the Bundesliga, managed to take away a miraculous point from the Allianz Arena in a 1-1 draw last Saturday and with that delay Bayern Munich’s claim to their fourth consecutive Bundesliga league title. M’gladbach have rebounded from a recent run of two consecutive losses with four points from two matches (W1 D1), beating the in-form climbers TSG Hoffenheim 3-1 at home the weekend before last, and they now stand fourth within the last available UEFA Champions League qualification spot. Hertha Berlin, who are fifth and also contenders for Champions League qualification, equal them on points, but trail M’gladbach on goal difference.

Bayer Leverkusen secured themselves a guaranteed third-place Bundesliga finish with their 2-1 win against, at the time, fourth-placed Hertha Berlin. Leverkusen are the most in-form side in the Bundesliga, having found form at the perfect time, and have rocketed their way up the table with seven consecutive league wins and secured themselves Champions League football for next season, despite an overall average season for them. Notable credit must be given to Javier ‘Chicharito’ Hernandez, who has scored 17 times in his 27 Bundesliga appearances, and his support from wingers Karim Bellarabi and young Julian Brandt. Bayer Leverkusen now have “nothing” to play for as they trail 20 points behind Borussia Dortmund with only two matches remainingso may decide to rest some of their “stars” so that some of their younger or reserve players can get a taste of the top flight action.

Bayer Leverkusen may be the most in-form side in the Bundesliga with seven consecutive wins, but BORUSSIA-Park is a tough venue for visitors. Combine this with the probability that Leverkusen rotate their lineup, having “nothing more” to play for, then Borussia M’gladbach come into this as favourites. M’gladbach have won their last six consecutive home matches and scored an average 3.5 goals per game in some impressive performances over the same period, including a 5-0 thrashing of third-placed Hertha Berlin and a 4-0 win against the (at the time) in-form Stuttgart. Borussia M’gladbach should, as such, see this as a decent opportunity to strengthen their chances for a Champions League qualification spot. Combining this analysis with the statistics below, we expect Borussia M’gladbach to continue their strong home form against a (likely) weaker Bayer Leverkusen lineup that should get themselves a consolation goal. Hence, Borussia M’gladbach or draw and both teams to score seems the safe bet, while Borussia M’gladbach to win 3-1 at 12/1, which is M’gladbach’s most common home result, seems a top value correct score bet for this match.
