Team News

Bayern Munich
  • Jerome Boateng will most likely replace the injured Holger Badstuber at centre-back once again.
  • Javi Martinez is doubtful with a minor injury and could be replaced by Anatoliy Tymoshchuk.
  • Mario Mandzukic and Mario Gomez compete for the spot up front.
Borussia M.Gladbach
  • Álvaro Domínguez is suspended for one game and will be replaced by Roel Brouwers.
  • Mike Hanke and Igor de Camargo compete for a spot up front, with the former probably ahead in the manager's ranking.
  • Otherwise, manager Favre will probably field an unchanged team.

Prediction

  • Bayern are in top form at the moment and another win would see them finishing the first half of the season with an outstanding 44 points.
  • Gladbach are unbeaten in their last four Bundesliga games and the team has finally found some stability. A result at Bayern would be a great finish ahead of the winter break.
  • Expect Bayern to dominate the game from the outset. They are heavy favourites at home.
