Bayern Munich vs Monchengladbach LIVE: Stream, score, TV channel and team news – Bundesliga latest updates

BAYERN STATS

This year’s Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich are top of the table with seven points separating them from second-placed RB Leipzig.

Bayern have won 22 out of a total of 31 league matches and only lost a mere four times, which poses as the best win-loss record in the Bundesliga this season.

The Bavarians have the best attack in the top flight as they have netted a whopping 86 goals, mainly thanks to leading goalscorer Robert Lewandowski.

However, Bayern have conceded 40 goals, which makes them only the fifth best defence in the league

HEAD-TO-HEAD

Bayern Munich and Borussia Monchengladbach’s first ever encounter took place way back in 1965 during a Bundesliga match that the former won 2-1 in North Rhine-Westphalia.

Since then, the two sides have faced off a total of 107 times with Bayern winning a majority of 51 games, compared to Gladbach’s 26 victories.

Marco Rose’s men won this season’s first leg at Borussia-Park in January with a score of 3-2 thanks to a spirited comeback inspired by a brace from Jonas Hoffman and Florian Neuhaus’ winner.

However, the Bavarians may be feeling more confident as Gladbach have only won three of their nine visits at the Allianz Arena in the last 10 years, losing four times in the process, with their most recent victory taking place in 2018

GLADBACH FORMATION

Borussia Monchengladbach boss Marco Rose has opted for a 4-2-3-1 formation with only one change to the team that destroyed Arminia Bielefeld at home last month.

Captain Yann Sommer starts in goal with Stefan Lainer at right-back and Ramy Bensebaini on the other side, while Matthias Ginter and Nico Elvedi team up at centre-back.

Denis Zakaria and Florian Neuhaus link up in midfield with Jonas Hofmann, who replaces Hannes Wolf, at No10.

Valentino Lazaro covers the right wing with Marcus Thuram on the other side and Breel Embolo leads the attack

BAYERN FORMATION

Bayern Munich boss Hansi Flick appears to have opted for a 4-2-3-1 formation with two changes to the team that lost at Mainz last month.

Captain Manuel Neuer starts in goal with Benjamin Pavard at right-back and Alphonso Davies on the other side, while Jerome Boateng and Theo Hernandez, on for Leon Goretzka, link up at centre-back.

Joshua Kimmich and David Alaba team up in midfield with Thomas Muller playing at No10.

Jamal Musiala, who replaces Leroy Sane, covers the right wing with Kinglsey Coman on the other side, while top goalscorer Robert Lewandowski leads the attack

THE TEAM SHEETS ARE IN!!!!

GOOD AFTERNOON FROM MUNICH

Welcome to our live coverage of the Bundesliga clash between Bayern Munich and Borussia Monchengladbach at the Allianz Arena.

Bayern just sealed their ninth consecutive league title, and 31st overall, after Borussia Dortmund beat RB Leipzig 3-2 at the Signal Iduna Park!

However, the Bavarians are set for a tricky encounter against a competitive Gladbach side, who are also aiming for Champions League qualification next season.

Outgoing Bayern manager Hansi Flick will be without Douglas Costa, Corentin Tolisso and Ron-Thorben Hoffmann, who may be out for the rest of the season due to a foot, tendon and knee injury respectively.

Niklas Sule could also be sidelined due to a thigh problem and thus the experienced duo of Jerome Boateng and David Alaba are likely to team up in defence once more.

Serge Gnabry could return to the starting line-up, which means Leroy Sane may have to make way in the wings.

Gladbach boss Marco Rose, who will also be leaving at the end of the season, will be missing Mamadou Doucoure due to an Achilles tendon injury.

But otherwise, it is all hands on deck for the Colts who will be having Jonas Hoffman back into the fold after he overcame a muscle injury.
