Borussia Monchengladbach host Bayern Munich at Borussia Park in round two of the DFB Pokal on Wednesday, with both sides having contrasting seasons so far.
Borussia Monchengladbach have had a disappointing campaign thus far. Adolf Hutter's side are currently 12th in the Bundesliga and have failed to consistently string wins together. They will look to progress to the next round of the competition with a win against giants Bayern Munich.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, have been imperious as usual this season. Julian Nagelsmann's side have only lost once this campaign and will look to make it four wins in a row against Gladbach on Wednesday.
Both sides will want to progress to the next round and that should make it an exciting contest.
Borussia Monchengladbach vs Bayern Munich Head-to-Head
It's hard to choose between the two sides based on their recent head-to-head record, with both sides having won two of their last five meetings against each other.
The two sides played out a 1-1 draw the last time they met back in August. Robert Lewandowski canceled out Alassane Plea's early opener to make sure the points were shared on the night.
