The start of the Bundesliga will definitely have a great game to kick off the game. However, the teams here are going to have a good game against each other. The Borussia Monchengladbach club is coming here with a weaker offense compared to what the Bayern Munich club is bringing to the pitch. Now, the main question is was the lack of offensive production the friendlies a fluke for Bayern Munich. In this instance, I think it was a fluke, but also a strong defensive showing from Napoli. The defense for Napoli is quite a bit better than Monchengladbach and with the weaker defense in the match, but also an offense that will sputter to a start it is easy to see Borussia Monchengladbach to struggle in the game as Bayern Munich is able to secure the win on the under.
