Betting Predictions
On Friday, Xabi Alonso’s unbeatable Bayer Leverkusen will take on Borussia Monchengladbach at Borussia Park to kick off the new Bundesliga season.
The visitors enter the game hot off their triumph over Stuttgart in the German Super Cup last Saturday, while the hosts, who finished 14th in the previous season, will be looking to improve on their recent performances.
Head-to-Head
Even though Bayer Leverkusen was defeated by no German team in the previous campaign, their winning streak against Borussia Monchengladbach extends until 2023–2024. The hosts have not lost to Monchengladbach in their previous nine meetings, and their most recent victory over Leverkusen came in 2019.
The fact that Monchengladbach was able to tie 0-0 with Xabi Alonso’s team in the Bay Arena the previous season is one reason for optimism.
Team News
Both winger Robin Hack, who was the top club scorer the previous season, and first-choice center-back Nico Elvedi will be available for selection for the hosts.
Unfortunately, due to knee problems, goalkeeper Jan Olschowsky and midfielder Borges Sanches will not be playing for Borussia Monchengladbach.
Regarding the visitors, Martin Terrier is available for selection and will not be serving a league suspension following his red card.
Because of Exequiel Palacios’s absence elsewhere, Aleix Garcia is likely to partner Granit Xhaka in midfield.
Regulars like Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, and Alejandro Grimaldo, who all made appearances against Stuttgart off the bench, might also be called upon by Bayer Leverkusen.
Probable Line-Up
Borussia Monchengladbach XI:
Omlin; Scally, Itakura, Elvedi, Netz; Reitz, Weigl; Honorat, Stoger, Hack; Kleindienst.
Bayer Leverkusen XI:
Hradecky; Tapsoba, Tah, Hincapie; Frimpong, Xhaka, Garcia, Grimaldo; Wirtz, Adli; Boniface.
Verdict
Tip Leverkusen to Winâś…
Reason
Leverkusen showed that they still have what it takes to triumph when it means most, despite not being at their best since the end of 2023–2024. It is hardly surprising that Bayer Leverkusen enters their opening game of the new season as favorites given that they were undoubtedly the finest team in Europe the previous season.
It would also be surprising if Borussia Monchengladbach avoided losing given their dismal performance in the previous term.

Tip: BTTS (YES)âś…
Reason
Both teams score regular goals. In the previous seven games, Borussia Monchengladbach scored one or more goals each time. Conversely, Bayer Leverkusen had scored one goal or more in each of the preceding five games. The greatest wager for this tie should be on both teams to score. This was aptly demonstrated in their most recent Super Cup matchup with Stuttgart, suggesting that we may see more of the same here today.

Football Lover. All-round junkie of the beautiful game. Could be found watching football most of the time. If not he’s writing about them or making some punditry you don’t agree with. A certain bias for Arsenal and Santos FC.
