Borussia Monchengladbach vs Bayer Leverkusen Predictions

• Both meetings between these sides saw at least four goals last term
• Bayer have scored 14 goals across their last five visits to Gladbach
• The pair saw a combined 13 goals across their matches last weekend

High-scoring openers

Both of these sides put on a show in their opening game of the season. Gladbach scored in added time to secure a 4-4 draw away to Augsburg, having blown a 2-0 lead in the first-half of that clash. Meanwhile, Bayer Leverkusen won 3-2 at home to RB Leipzig.

The pair were also ruthless in their first cup game of the season earlier this month. Gladbach won 7-0 at Bersenbruick, while Bayer went one better in an 8-0 victory over Teutonia Ottensen.

Attack to come out on top

These two sides should both look to get forward in their second game, while they have a record of high-scoring clashes. Last term, they shared a 2-2 draw in May, while Bayer Leverkusen won 3-2 in this fixture back in January this year.

The visitors have scored 14 times across their last five visits to this ground and they should be confident of causing problems having looked much better under Xabi Alonso’s leadership after he stepped in midway through last season.
