Bor. M'Gladbach - Bayern München

Top match in Gladbach where Borussia hosts Bayern Munich. This is the first time that the two traditional teams which was big rivals in the 70' years. Maybe this is the first big test for both teams this season in league. If Bayern Munich win this encounter we can wish them all the best for the next title but if Gladbach can take a Point or even win this match it is an open race and the season becomes more interesting as in the past years.

The home side is very strong this season and manager Eberl and Coach Favre has build up a very strong team. They signed very good players and their concept is great. Favre is a hard worker and he try to find the right key to stop Bayern Munich. Of course they played on Thursday but in EL he rotate a lot and gave almost all offensive players a break. The bench players did the job and they won easy 5-0 against a team from Cyprus who never had a chance. Some of the players like Traore made some advertising for the starting lineup. Despite this good performance Coach Favre counts on the same lineup as in the past and look for the right balance they need against giant Bayern.

Also Bayern played under the week and they did it very well and destroyed AS Roma easy. They played great and the offensive worked very well. This time they come to Gladbach without in great shape playing Robben who has a slight injury and travelled not with the team and stay in Munich. This is the chance for Ribery or Shakiri. Ribery is back from injury but at what level he is, is unknown after a few minutes against Bremen or Roma. Robben in this form is hard to replace, of course they have a lot of good players and they can rotate anytime and the play does not stop.
