Why you should back Bayern Munich 

Bayern has won a record 31 Bundesliga titles and look to be on track for another one. They have scored a league-high 56 goals, 15 more than Dortmund, and yielded a league-low 16. Robert Lewandowski has 19 goals in 17 games, slightly off his pace from his record-setting 41 in 29 last season. He had a hat trick the last time these teams faced off in Munich, a 6-0 Bayern victory.   

Bayern has been dealing with a COVID outbreak since returning from vacation, but it has the depth to cover the losses. Midfielder Thomas Muller leads the league with 13 assists, and his vision combined with Lewandowski's timing is tough to stop. Serge Gnabry (nine goals) is one of eight players who have scored at least three times. 

Why you should back Borussia Monchengladbach 

The Foals are just two points clear of the relegation zone, but they will be able to field most of their preferred starting lineup. The team has just a few COVID cases, though top scorer Jonas Hofmann (seven goals) is out with an injury. Breel Embolo is expected to lead the attack, and he has scored twice, one of seven Gladbach players with at least two goals. Gladbach has a solid track record in recent matchups, going 6-1-4 in the last 11 against Bayern in all competitions.

Gladbach has not finished lower than ninth in the league over the past 10 years, and it is seeking consistency under new manager Adi Hutter. Bayern will be without top goalkeeper Manuel Neuer and defenders Dayot Upamecano and Lucas Hernandez, so Gladbach should be able to take advantage. It went 2-1-0 in its three games following the October win against Bayern but hit a slump in late November, and it hopes the winter break halted that bad mojo.
