Who Will Win The 2020/2021 La Liga Season

3y ago

Six points now separate Borussia Monchengladbach and first-placed Bayern Munich. A loss to third-placed Borussia Dortmund on Saturday at home and the hopes of bringing the title to Monchengladbach will be extinguished.

Borussia Dortmund are four points off of Bayern Munich. They have a good chance to draw closer to the reigning champions. TheYellow and Black have won three straight games in the Bundesliga keeping three straight clean sheets in the process.

Lucien Favre is still without captain Marco Reus. The winger is out “indefinitely” due to his latest injury. Reus has already missed around a month’s worth of games due to muscle tissue damage.

Reus scored 12 goals in 26 games and his scoring in the final third has been missed. The good news is January signing Erling Haaland has scored nine goals in seven games since joining.

A true delicacy to close out Saturday’s Bundesliga lineup as Dortmund and Monchengladbach lock horns in 97th edition of Borussen derby.

Borussia Monchengladbach vs Borussia Dortmund Team News

Borussia Monchengladbach got back to winning ways last Saturday in the Bundesliga, beating Augsburg 3-2 away from home with all the goals raining during exciting second half, as Ramy Bensebaini scored on his return from injury and captain Lars Stindl netting a match-winning brace.

It was an all-important win for the Foals following a disappointing draw against Hoffenheim the week before, which put an end to their winning streak at Borussia-Park; their title hopes are still in the air as Borussia sit at 4th place with a game in hand, closing the gap on second placed RBL, with Bayern staying six points away.

In front of their own fans, Marco Rose’s men are nearly invincible as they boast sublime record of eight wins, two draws and one loss, coming at the hands of Leipzig far back in August which spurned them to make eight-game winning run in Mönchengladbach, undone by Hoffenheim’s lucky 90th minute brace.

The English wonderkid Jadon Sancho scored his 14th Bundesliga goal of the season to earn Borussia Dortmund all three points against disciplined Freiburg side at the Signal Iduna Park.
Third back-to-back league victory for BVB, their sixth since 2020 kicked in, with their only defeat in the New Year being in that classic 4-3 showdown at Leverkusen’s BayArena which was enough to keep their 3rd place at Bundesliga table, closing the gap on the leading duo and stay ahead of their next rival.

Lucien Favre’s gung-ho approach on the road is brilliant, when it works. When it doesn’t, when they’re faced against side who’s able to proficiently use all that space left in behind, they struggle even to salvage a point, with already mentioned Leverkusen matchup (and Hoffenheim beforehand) being prime example of this.

Injured or Suspended Players

Borussia Monchengladbach: Johnson, Thuram, Benes and Traore.

Monchengladbach vs Dortmund Predictions

While Dortmund are more successful of the two in these derbies in recent history, I just can’t gloss over Mönchengladbach’s brilliant season and spectacular performances at their home ground. BVB have their share of faults, most of which are easily visible when they face exactly the type of side their next opponent is and with CL rematch in Paris surely on their minds, I’m boldly backing our hosts to edge it and end their cursed streak versus Borussia Dortmund. Oh, there will be goals. No doubt about that. Both of these are exceptionally prolific going forward, just as bad defensively so they should easily get over this margin, perhaps even before the break.
