Bayern Munich are in side in desperate need for a win when they host Borussia Monchengladbach for the Bundesliga matchday 8 clash on Saturday evening.
The defending champions were held to draws in the last two consecutive fixture. They were first held at home by Koln on a 1-1 margin and last week Frankfurt came from behind to earn a 2-2 draw. However, with their 5 straight wins at the start of the season, the Bavarians stay put at the top of the league table. But the high flying sides like Koln and RB Leipzig are slowly closing in at a 2 point gap.
Borussia Monchengladbach share the spoils in the goal-less draw against a poor Hamburg last weekend. They had previously won in each of the three home fixtures this season and the 0-0 against a team of Hamburg’s stature is quite a surprise. At the same time, the questions on their away credentials this season still remains as they are win-less in 3 games, with 2 of them being heavy defeats – 3-1 at Freiburg and 4-0 at Schalke.
