Bundesliga Preview: Can Gladbach shock Bayern as top-four race takes centre stage?

Dortmund have a four-point cushion over Leipzig, but with the two facing each other next weekend, Lucien Favre’s team can’t afford to slip up here.  

They’re clear 4/11 favourites to beat the relegation-battling Dusseldorf. Without a home crowd cheering them on, it’ll be harder for the hosts to upset the odds here – they’re out at 7/1.

Dortmund won the reverse fixture 5-0. Fancy another convincing win for BVB? They’re 31/20 to win to nil or 21/20 to win both halves.

Erling Haaland could return for the visitors – he’s 12/5 to score first or 2/3 anytime. Jadon Sancho is also odds-on to net at 5/6 anytime, with Thorgan Hazard an 11/8 shot.

Dusseldorf will be looking to Rouwen Hennings to make any chances count. He’s 2/1 to get on the scoresheet.

Bayern Munich v Borussia Monchengladbach (Saturday 17:30)

Facing Bayern should be a daunting task, especially given their recent form. But with Robert Lewandowski and Thomas Muller both suspended, and Serge Gnabry a doubt, Gladbach will see a chance to complete the double over the champions in league action this term.

Bayern are still 2/5 to get the points, with Gladbach at 13/2 and the draw going for 4/1.

If Gnabry is fit enough to feature for the league leaders, he’s 3/4 to score anytime, with talented youngster Joshua Zirkzee also odds-on at 10/11 to net.

Marco Rose will have to name a side without the suspended Alassane Plea, though Marcus Thuram will be there to lead the line. He’s 7/1 to score first, or 21/10 anytime.

Schalke 04 v Bayer Leverkusen (Sunday, 17:00)

Schalke have been very poor since the restart, only picking up one point from five games. Leverkusen will look to take advantage and pick up three vital points.

They’re 8/15 to do just that. Home advantage doesn’t count for much here, according to our odds – Schalke are back at 24/5.

After sitting out against Bayern last week, Leverkusen’s main man Kai Havertz could return to the side. He’s 10/3 to score first or 23/20 to score anytime. Kevin Volland is also closing in on a comeback – we go 13/10 that he nets.

For Schalke, Ahmed Kutucu and Benito Rahman are 10/3 and 16/5 as anytime scorers respectively.

Both sides have scored in five of the last six meetings between these two – BTTS is priced at 3/4.
