Bundesliga
The two German sides have faced each other seven times since 2022, all of which were Bundesliga matches. Bayern Munich were the superior team during this period, achieving four wins and also kept a clean sheet on two occasions. Gladbach won twice, while one game ended in a draw. The average number of goals scored per game during this period was 2.86.
Borussia M.Gladbach team overview
Mönchengladbach finished last season well clear of the relegation zone after picking up 13 wins and six draws from 34 matches. Die Fohlen would have entered the new campaign hoping to build on their performance last season or even challenge for a top-eight spot.
Sadly, however, they have given their fans nothing to cheer about so far, remaining the only team yet to win in the Bundesliga this season after losing four and drawing three of their seven matches.
That said, head coach Merlin Polzin will take heart from the fact that his side lost only two of their last seven home matches against Bayern Munich.
The hosts will be without Nathan Ngoumou, Tim Kleindienst, Robin Hack and Fabio Chiarodia on Saturday afternoon due to injury.

Bayern Munich team overview
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich eased their way to another Bundesliga title last season without being challenged as they finished 11 points above second-placed Bayer Leverkusen.
Kompany's side were knocked out of the Champions League by Inter Milan in the quarter-finals but look determined to make amends this season.
The Reds have won all three of their League Phase encounters so far, and also boast a perfect Bundesliga record with seven wins out of seven.
Their most recent match saw them thrash Club Brugge 4:0 in Europe, becoming the first team in the top five European leagues to win the first 11 games of the season.
The big news for Bayern Munich concerns young sensation Jamal Musiala, who returned to training this week for the first time since sustaining a fibula injury at the Club World Cup. Alphonso Davies is doubtful due to fitness issues, while Josip Stanisic, Miroko Ito and Jonas Urbig are set to miss out.

Prediction
With two of their three points this season coming at home, and with a good home record against Bayern, the hosts have every reason to be optimistic about Saturday's game. Kompany will make a couple of changes to the team that played in the midweek game, but Bayern have a strong squad and are expected to secure another win in what will be a high-scoring game.
Three reasons we expect at least three goals in this game
- Bayern Munich have scored at least three goals in 10 of their 11 games this season.
- Bayern kept a clean sheet in just one of their last four away games.
- Borussia Mönchengladbach averaged almost two goals per game in their last four games.
Main prediction -
Over 2.5 goals
