Bayern Munich will try to make it eight straight wins when they resume their 2021-22 Bundesliga campaign at home to Borussia Monchengladbach on Friday with kickoff at 10:30 pm.
Home side Bayern Munich is currently at the Bundesliga table, nine points clear of second-placed Borussia Dortmund. Monchengladbach is currently 14th in the league, struggling for consistency this season.
Since losing at Augsburg on November 19, Bayern’s form has been excellent, winning seven Bundesliga matches across two competitions, allowing them to finish their Champions League group with a perfect record and pull clear at the top of the league table.
Julian Nagelsmann’s side has won five straight Bundesliga matches, scoring nine goals and conceding zero in their last two matches against Stuttgart and Wolfsburg.
As a result of this hot streak, they now lead the league table by two points with 43 points from their opening 17 2021-22 campaign matches.
Meanwhile, Monchengladbach has not finished lower than ninth in the Bundesliga since 2011, claiming fifth and fourth in two of the last three seasons. This year, however, they have struggled for consistency.
They have won five matches, drawn four, and lost eight—a record that has given them 19 points, which is only enough for 14th place in the standings, two points clear of 16th-placed Stuttgart.
