The previous h2h games were pretty one-sided. In the last 11 games, Bayer Leverkusen won nine times, while the other two matches ended as draws. But even in those two draws, Bayer Leverkusen were much better and deserved to win. So, with a little more luck, we would speak about an 11-game winning streak.
When it comes to the number of goals, we saw four or more goals in two h2h games last season, with an average of 4.5 goals per game. Moreover, seven of the last eight h2h games ended with at least three goals.
Bayer Leverkusen team overview
Bayer Leverkusen had a fantastic 2023/24 season under Xabi Alonso as they won their first-ever Bundesliga title and the second DFB Pokal Cup title. In the following season, they once again did well, finishing second, but not too close to the top spot as Bayern Munich finished 13 points behind.
Before the start of the season, coach Xabi Alonso left to join Real Madrid, and Erik ten Hag arrived. Unfortunately, due to poor results, Erik ten Hag was sacked after only two months, and Kasper Hjulmand replaced him. Right now, they are 10th in the Bundesliga with four points in the first three rounds, but it seems there are improvements under the new head coach.

Borussia M`gladbach team overview
Borussia M'Gladbach are playing their 18th consecutive Bundesliga season. In the recent four seasons, the Prussians finished between 10th and 14th place and weren't even close to reaching Europe.
This season, the Prussians opened the season with an easy 3:2 win in the Cup over a lower-league team, Delmenhorst, but then were really bad in the Bundesliga, winning only one point in the first three games. Due to the terrible results, coach Gerardo Seoane was sacked on 15th September, and the club appointed Eugen Polanski as a caretaker manager.

Prediction
Bayer Leverkusen have been inconsistent this season, but we believe there is an improvement under the new head coach as they won 3:1 over Eintracht Frankfurt and drew 2:2 against FC Copenhagen. But even more importantly than the results, we believe they started playing much better.
Meanwhile, Borussia M'Gladbach have been absolutely terrible. Their only win came against Delmenhorst, an Oberliga Niedersachsen team (3:2). After that win, they were awful, winning just one point in the first three Bundesliga games, and have yet to score in the Bundesliga! To be fair, they are creating chances, but it seems they lack quality up front to convert them. Also, their last loss was an absolutely devastating one, considering they lost 4:0 at home at Borussia-Park in Mönchengladbach. So, expecting a good result vs Bayer on the road is unreal.
In the previous h2h games, Bayer Leverkusen dominated, winning nine out of the last 11 games - 82%. Considering the difference in form, the trend in the previous h2h games, we firmly believe the hosts are a better team at the moment and should secure a win at BayArena.
4 Reasons why Bayer Leverkusen should win
- Bayer Leverkusen are undefeated in the last three games
- Borussia M'Gladbach won one point in the first three Bundesliga games
- Borussia M'Gladbach failed to score in the first three Bundesliga games
- Bayer Leverkusen won nine out of the last 11 h2h games
