Bayern Munich vs Borussia Monchengladbach: The points are there for anyone to take

Bayern Munich will commence matchday 18, as they welcome struggling Borussia Monchengladbach at the Allianz Arena tonight.

Let's take a look at betting options available for selection.

The table topper are nine points off Dortmund in second place, and they will even hope to extend the point as they play tonight after the Christmas holiday.

Julian Nagelsmann's men are on a seven-match winning streak and will be bidding to make it eight when they face the away team. They won their last match against Wolfsburg, after beating them 4-0 at Allianz Arena.

Bayern are back on their feet again and have all the arsenal required to defeat the away team.

The away team is struggling with form this season. They are 14th on the log after nineteen points in seventeen matches. Just two points from the relegation spot with a negative goal difference of nine.

They drew their last match against Hoffenheim after taking the lead at halftime, the home team then equalized in the late hour of the match, which made it zero wins in five matches for Monchengladbach.

They will hope to kick start the new year with a win.

• Monchengladbach has won three and drawn one out of five meetings against Bayern;
• Monchengladbach met Bayern in October, and the match ended in favour of Borussia, 5-0.

This encounter looks very tricky, as Bayern will be without eight players due to COVID 19.

Considering the last match they played together with the absentees for Bayern, I think the away team might be all out for a surprise.

Nonetheless, Bayern are a strong side and I believe they have enough players to see them off.

We are not writing off the away team, to be honest.

• 1H for 1.74
• H/W & Yes for 2.25
• Embolo to score for 3.80
