• Date: Saturday, 10 May 2025
• Venue: Allianz Arena, Munich
• Fixture: Bayern Munich vs Borussia Mönchengladbach

Match Preview

Bayern Munich, fresh from clinching their record 33rd Bundesliga title with two games to spare, welcome Borussia Mönchengladbach to the Allianz Arena in a fixture that has often provided drama and surprises. Bayern’s season under Vincent Kompany has been a statement of intent, regaining their dominance after last year’s Leverkusen fairytale. The Bavarians have combined attacking flair-scoring a league-high 93 goals-with improved defensive solidity, even while navigating a raft of injuries to key players. Their last league outing was a thrilling 3-3 draw with Leipzig, and they enter this match on a wave of confidence.

Gladbach, meanwhile, have really struggled recently under Gerardo Seoane, failing to win in five matches and leaking a lot of goals. This included the incredible 4-4 home draw they played out with relegation-threatened Heidenheim last weekend. Nevertheless, they still harbor outside hopes of a European spot. Although they boast a strong home record against Bayern, this clash takes place in Munich, where Bayern are typically formidable.

In their most recent head-to-head, Bayern edged a 1-0 win at Borussia-Park in January, courtesy of a Harry Kane penalty. Bayern also won the reverse fixture 3-1 at home last season. For Gladbach, the challenge is compounded by the absence of winger Nathan Ngoumou, ruled out with a season-ending Achilles injury. Bayern, for their part, are missing creative star Jamal Musiala (hamstring), while Manuel Neuer, Alphonso Davies, and several defenders have all spent time on the sidelines, forcing Kompany to rotate and rely on squad depth.

Both teams have attacking quality. Bayern’s Harry Kane has been a revelation, breaking Bundesliga scoring records and forming a lethal partnership with Michael Olise, who leads the league in assists. Gladbach’s main threat comes from Tim Kleindienst, their top scorer, and the experienced Alassane Pléa, both capable of troubling defences. Bayern’s dominance in possession and firepower up front make them heavy favourites, but Gladbach’s ability to spring surprises-especially on the counter-means they cannot be underestimated.

Key Players

Bayern Munich

• Harry Kane: The prolific English striker has scored 60 Bundesliga goals in just 61 appearances for Bayern, breaking records and providing a constant goal threat with his clinical finishing and intelligent movement.
• Michael Olise: A dynamic right winger, Olise is known for his creativity, dribbling, and vision, already contributing six league goals and numerous assists since joining from Crystal Palace last summer.
• Joshua Kimmich: The versatile midfield anchor is Bayern’s heartbeat, leading the league in passes to shots and boasting a 92% pass success rate, while also providing defensive stability and leadership.

Borussia Mönchengladbach

• Tim Kleindienst: Gladbach’s leading scorer this season, Kleindienst combines physicality with sharp finishing, recently netting his 16th goal and adding an assist in a thrilling 4-4 draw.
• Alassane Pléa: The experienced French forward is versatile across the front line, contributing goals and creativity, and remains a key figure in Gladbach’s attacking play.
• Robin Hack: A lively left winger, Hack brings energy and directness, having chipped in with goals and assists throughout the campaign.

Prediction

Bayern Munich, buoyed by their title win and home advantage, are strong favourites to take all three points. Their attacking depth and recent form suggest a comfortable victory, though Gladbach’s attacking threats could see them on the scoresheet. Expect Bayern to control possession and create numerous chances, with Kane likely to add to his tally. A 3-1 win for Bayern looks a likely outcome, which would end the visitors’ chances of playing in Europe next season.
