Bayer Leverkusen vs Borussia Monchengladbach Preview

• Competition: Bundesliga
• Date: Sunday, 21 September
• Kick-Off Time: 04:30 PM GMT
• Venue: BayArena

Matchday four of the Bundesliga 20225-26 will take us to the BayArena, where Bayer Leverkusen will host Borussia Monchengladbach. The home side are coming into this game after a 2-2 draw against Copenhagen in the UEFA Champions League group game. On the other hand, Borussia Monchengladbach started their season very poorly as they haven't won a single game till now in the league. Here's Sportsdunia's Bayer Leverkusen vs Borussia Monchengladbach Preview:

After the sacking of Erik ten Hag, Leverkusen have brought in former Denmark men's National Team Head Coach Kasper Hjulmand as their main man. They are a team which are going through a big period of transition, as many key figures have left the club in the transfer window. Despite all these challenges, they are very much capable of challenging the big teams. In three league games, they have won once, drawn once and lost once. With four points on the table, they are sitting in 10th place. Hjulmand's boys will have to be at their best to win the upcoming fixture.

Monchengladbach find themselves in 18th place right now, and they have sacked their head coach, and Eugen Polanski is taking charge of the team as an interim coach. In three league games, they have drawn once and lost two games by quite a big margin. Fans have shown their frustration, and there is a lot of pressure on the club management and players to deliver results on the pitch. Their record is not good against Leverkusen, especially away from home, and they will have to get a decent result to get their confidence back. This will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.

Key Players to Watch in Bayer Leverkusen vs Borussia Mönchengladbach

Patrik Schick (Bayer Leverkusen)

Many key players left Leverkusen and currently they are going through a big transition, but Schick didn't leave them, despite having interests from other clubs. He instead signed a contract extension with the club, which shows how much he admires the club. Schick is a vital player of the team and is someone who can make an impact on the pitch. Overall, he is someone who is able to score as well as assist. He's got a tall frame, which allows him to win duels against opponents. In four games so far, he has scored three goals and is looking in fine form.

Giovanni Reyna (Borussia Monchengladbach)

The American youngster has joined Borussia Monchengladbach recently after a long stint with Borussia Dortmund. Reyna is a versatile player who can play as an attacking midfielder as well as a winger. He did perform quite well for Dortmund, but eventually his form dipped and he joined a new club. He hasn't had a great start to the new season, as Monchengladbach are yet to win a league game this season. Reyna is very much capable of helping his team in the attacking department and can also make a difference in the team's scoreline.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Borussia Monchengladbach Prediction

Both teams are going through some difficult times, as of now, but surely they will be giving their all on the pitch to get the three points. Leverkusen have a great record against Borussia Monchengladbach, especially in the last few seasons. Leverkusen are favourites to win this fixture, and most probably they will narrowly win this match.
