The Bundesliga returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Borussia Monchengladbach take on an impressive Bayer Leverkusen side in an important clash at the BayArena on Sunday.
Bayer Leverkusen vs Borussia Monchengladbach Preview
Borussia Monchengladbach are currently in 11th place in the Bundesliga standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The away side slumped to a shock 5-2 defeat at the hands of Borussia Dortmund last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this fixture.
Bayer Leverkusen, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent this season. The hosts failed to reach the UEFA Europa League final this week and have a point to prove in this fixture.
