Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Sunday’s football game between Borussia M’gladbach and Bayer Leverkusen will bring down the curtain on the Bundesliga round 16. Die Fohlen aim to build on a 4-2 win over Borussia Dortmund, and they are surely capable of matching Bayer in front of home fans. Both Marcus Thuram and Borges Sanches are sidelined with injuries, but both Yann Sommer and Hannes Wolf are back to contention.
The visitors, on the other hand, were showing signs of improvement before the World Cup break, with the team winning each of their last three league fixtures, and given their attacking potential, we believe that gamblers from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. All Aranguiz, Eze, and Schick remain in the recovery room, while both Hudson-Odoi and Frimpong will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
