The past few meetings between these two teams have been very interesting to say the least. The games have not ended up with a tie or a lack of score at all. However, the games are also showing that one team is typically dominating the other. What could be problematic for Monchengladbach is the fact that they have not controlled the ball very well lately and give up possession very easily. Look for Bayer Leverkusen to come into the game here and not commit as many fouls and be a lot more disciplined, but also play the game at full strength this time to lock down the win.
