Stadium: BayArena (Leverkusen)
18.01.2025 20:30
The BayArena sets the stage for an electric clash as Bayer 04 Leverkusen hosts Borussia Mönchengladbach. This isn’t just another Bundesliga match; it’s a test of momentum against recovery. Leverkusen enters as the league’s most in-form side, brimming with confidence and riding a wave of five straight victories in all competitions. Across the pitch, Mönchengladbach arrives wounded from a recent battering by Wolfsburg but remains capable of surprising on their day.
This rivalry has seen its fair share of drama over the years, with Leverkusen dominating the head-to-head record, claiming 24 wins from 44 encounters. But history is only a backdrop. What matters is the here and now.
Leverkusen’s clinical attack and airtight defense have made them contenders for the title this season. Gladbach, inconsistent yet unpredictable, will need a perfect game to take points from their hosts. With the stakes high and recent results adding an extra layer of intrigue, expect fireworks in this encounter.

Leverkusen’s current form is a statement. Five consecutive wins across all competitions underline their credentials, with attacking flair and defensive solidity working in harmony. Players like Florian Wirtz and Victor Boniface have stepped up, showcasing creativity and lethal finishing that have left opponents scrambling.
At the BayArena, they’ve been nearly untouchable. Their last home match saw a dominant 1-0 win over Mainz 05, where patience and persistence paid off. With just one goal conceded in their last five outings, Leverkusen’s backline is arguably their most underrated weapon.
Facing Mönchengladbach, the objective is clear: control possession, dictate tempo, and exploit defensive frailties. With their current form and the crowd behind them, Leverkusen are firm favourites to collect another three points.
Borussia Monchengladbach
Mönchengladbach’s season has been a rollercoaster. Their recent thrashing by Wolfsburg exposed glaring defensive issues, but they’ve also shown glimpses of their potential, like their recent 4-1 demolition of Holstein Kiel.
In attack, Alassane Pléa and Jonas Hofmann remain key figures, but consistency has been their Achilles’ heel. Away from Borussia-Park, their struggles intensify. With one win in their last five away games, the odds are stacked against them at the BayArena.
To challenge Leverkusen, Gladbach must tighten their defense and take their chances in transition. Anything less could see them overwhelmed by their high-flying hosts.
