Monchengladbach – Bayer Leverkusen Preview

The Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen are starting their season on Friday. Xabi Alonso’s boys, who won a domestic treble under their Spanish coach, will face Borussia M’gladbach away from home. Let’s preview this clash in our best soccer predictions today.

Xabi Alonso continue to do miracles as the manager of Bayer Leverkusen. After winning the Bundesliga and the DFB Pokal, Alonso won one more trophy with Die Werkself – the German Super Cup. Last week Bayer faced Stuttgart in Leverkusen and won on penalties.

The regular time between Leverkusen and Stuttgart at the BayArena ended with a 2-2 draw. Victor Boniface and Patrik Schick scored for the Bundesliga champions. Leverkusen did something heroic in winning the Super Cup because the new signing Martin Terrier got sent off in the first half.

Some players should return in Bayer Leverkusen’s line-up against M’gladbach. Alex Grimaldo, Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong started from the bench last week, but now we expect to see them in the starting eleven.

Borussia M’gladbach will try to recover after a mediocre previous season in the Bundesliga. Despite the poor performance, Borussia decided to stick with their head coach Gerardo Seoane – a former manager of Leverkusen. It’d be interesting to see if the Swiss coach can increase the quality of M’gladbach’s team.

The striker Tim Kleindienst arrived at the Borussia-Park this summer. The 28-years old forward played for Heidenheim last season. Now he will have the task to reinforce M’gladbach’s attack.

The attacking midfielder Kevin Stöger is another player who must improve the quality of the team. He was playing for Bochum during the 2023/24 campaign, but now he arrived in M’gladbach with a free transfer.

That’s the best soccer predictions today for the Bundesliga clash between Borussia M’gladbach and Bayer Leverkusen. Will the champions start their season with a win here? Well, let’s see.
