Borussia M'gladbach is not the same force they were last Bundesliga season when they ended 4th, six points ahead of Bayer Leverkusen on the table. This season Leverkusen definitely is the better side, but is Leverkusen good enough to leave the Borussia-Park with 3 points? Read this preview to find out.

Stats and Facts

Gladbach is 5-2-2 at home this season. Leverkusen is 4-2-4 away. The reverse fixture this season ended 1-1. Borussia M was lucky to escape with a point in that match as Leverkusen piled on a lot of pressure. The two last times Leverkusen has visited the Borussia-Park it has ended with a 2-2 draw and a 3-1 win.

Team News

Borussia M'gladbach will miss Jantschke (right back) as he is suspended. Mlapa (attacker) came in as a substitute against Nurnberg, but was taken off again. He’ll sit this one out. Bayer Leverkusen will miss Central Defender Toprak due to suspension. Midfielder Bellarabi is still out injured.

Betting Prediction

Borussia M’Gladbach has lost a lot of their offensive spark this season with Reus leaving the club for Dortmund. Luuk de Jong hasn’t shone as much as one thought he would after arriving in Reus’ place from Twente. In general there has been a bit of high profile ins-and outs at the club lately, so it probably will take some time for the club to find their shape. The squad has plenty of talent though!

Leverkusen has steadily improved, and they got a great spine. On top they got excellent players that can finish off matches. Last match day they stretched Dortmund to the wire, but still lost 2-3 at home. Leverkusen will be taking positives with them going into this match though.

It must be said Leverkusen has a UEFA League match coming up on the following Thursday, but I think the game is enough days away to not mess too much with their heads. My call is the away win!

Betsson Sportsbook offers 2.22 at the moment for Leverkusen. I think that is a notch too high. If you are a new customer at Betsson you can also enjoy the £100 Risk Free Bet that is currently on offer.
