B.Monchengladbach vs Bayer Leverkusen prediction 22.01.2023

• Competition: Bundesliga
• Date: 22.01.2023
• Kickoff: 16:30 UTC / 17:30 CET
• Venue: Borussia-Park (Mönchengladbach)

The Bundesliga is very equal in terms of quality this season, but these two clubs have not yet used that fact to consolidate their position at the top of the table.

After 15 rounds played, B. Monchengladbach occupies the 8th position in the table with 22 points won. They play with a lot of amplitude this season and the impression is that they could have won more points than this one. One of the biggest problems of the team is a rather weak and insecure defense, so they won most of the matches in goal festivals. During the break, they played only three matches against the German lower leagues, in which they recorded a record of two wins and one loss. We will see how Monchengladbach will play in the continuation of the championship because this team definitely has the quality to get one of the positions that bring placement in Europe next season.

On the other side, Bayer Leverkusen is in an unenviable position because they are only in the 12th position in the Bundesliga. It certainly does not satisfy the appetites of the fans and club management, but there is still a lot to play for and I believe that by the end of the season they will break into the top half of the table. This is a very talented team, but competing in the Champions League has obviously worn them down a lot. In the spring, they will also have a doubleheader in the 1/16 finals of the Europa League against Monaco, and that will be a real send-off for all football fans.

B. Monchengladbach vs Bayer Leverkusen pick: LEVERKUSEN TO WIN

Although the state of the table does not show it,  Bayer Leverkusen is a better team than B. Monchengladbach and they will show it on the field on Sunday. This is a very talented team that, due to a combination of circumstances and a lot of injuries, is only in the 13th position in the Bundesliga, but I think it's only a matter of time before they are going to start a series of victories and make their way to the very top. Before the break, they played 3 matches in which they recorded all 3 victories, with a goal difference of 9:1, thus confirming their good form in friendly matches before the continuation of the championship. Definitely, Leverkusen can continue in that rhythm on the road against B. Monchengladbach, against whom they have had a very good score in previous matches.
