Bayern Munich is back, and they’ll be headed to northwestern Germany to play the bogey team itself: Borussia Mönchengladbach. Getting a result away at Gladbach is easier said than done and with a couple of injuries to his men, Vincent Kompany will have a mountain to climb. Only time will tell if he’s up for the challenge.
Bayern sit in first with a record of 11-3-1 (36 points) while Gladbach is in eighth with a 7-3-5 record (24 points). Will Kompany break the “Gladbach curse” first time or will he follow in the footsteps of his predecessors?
