Bayern Munich vs Borussia Monchengladbach Preview

• Tournament: Bundesliga
• Date: Saturday, 10 May 2025
• Kick-Off Time: 16:30 PM GMT.
• Venue: Allianz Arena, Munich

Bayern Munich will play their first match since being crowned as the 2024/25 Bundesliga champions when they host Borussia Monchengladbach at the Allianz Arena. The Bayern Munich vs Borussia Monchengladbach clash will take place on Saturday, 10 May 2025 at 16:30 PM GMT.

The Bavarians have secured the first position in the Bundesliga and won the league title with two games to spare, as they're on 76 points from 32 games. They have won three of their last five league games, scoring 15 goals in the process!

Bayern might have secured the title, but they'll be determined to put on a show for their fans. They've won 13 of their 16 home matches in Bundesliga this season and aim to maintain that. Bayern will need to be at their explosive best in finishing off chances in style, but also must be more resilient and sturdy with their defensive set-up to get a compelling win over the visitors.

Borussia Monchengladbach, on the other hand, still have a potential European spot to fight for. They're in 9th place in the table with 45 points from 32 games so far. If they're able to win their last two matches and luck favors them, they could secure a top-6 finish and vye for a Europa Conference League spot.

However, Gerardo Seoane needs to do a fabulous job at motivating his players for that. They've lost three of their last five league games and their last win was in late March (2025). Borussia Monchengladbach need to produce their best defensive effort to frustrate Bayern and needs to be prolific on counter-attacks to ruin the Bavarians party and get a huge win.

Key Players to Watch in Bayern Munich vs Borussia Monchengladbach

Harry Kane (Bayern Munich)

Harry Kane has finally won a major trophy in his career with Bayern clinching the Bundesliga title. He's played a key role in it, overperforming his 19.68 xG (expected goals) with 24 goals so far this season. He looks to breach the 25-goal mark and more in the upcoming clash.

Kane will look to have a blast at the Allianz Arena, being clinical with his finishing and link-up play to put on a show for the fans. He'll look to be at his best with his finishing to amp up his goal count and celebrate the title win in style.

Tim Kleindienst (Borussia Monchengladbach)

Tim Kleindienst has been a major driving force for Borussia Monchengladbach in the 2024/25 season, overperforming his 13.31 xG with 16 goals so far. He has a pretty sharp 22% goal ocnversion rate, but needs to produce an inspired display to motivate his teammates.

Kleindienst needs to be really proactive against Bayern, having to time his runs properly in the opposition final third to get at the end of chances. He will also need to be clever with his link-up play to create attacks and finish off whatever chances come his way efficiently to help his side get a positive result.

Bayern Munich vs Borussia Monchengladbach Prediction

There will be a party mood around the Allianz Arena for this game because of Bayern's title win. However, the Bavarians will initially be focused on getting another win under their bag before beginning the celebrations on the pitch.

Unfortunately for Borussia Monchengladbach, their injuries have made them vulnerable defensively and their backline might find it tough to cope with Bayern Munich's attacking force. They could put up a decent fight, but the Bavarians should put up an inspired display to get a big win.

Predicted Score: Bayern Munich 3-1 Borussia Monchengladbach
