Last season was one of the worst in the 21st century for Borussia Monchengladbach, as they finished only one point ahead of the relegation zone. Gerardo Seoane's team shouldn't be even close to the worst Bundesliga teams, so the fans certainly expect a much better year. Since the team gathered in July, Seoane's team has impressed as they recorded seven wins in a row, including the preseason. Last weekend, in the first game of the 2024/25 season, Borussia Monchengladbach won 3-1 on the road in the cup against Aue.
The previous season was the best in Bayer Leverkusen's history. They finally won their first Bundesliga title and are now considered the only team that could challenge Bayern Munich in the 2024/25 season. Xabi Alonso's team was far from perfect during preseason, as they recorded only one win in four matches. Last weekend, in the first game of the season, Bayer Leverkusen won on penalties in the Super Cup final against Stuttgart. Maybe some expected a win in the regular 90 minutes. Still, Bayer played most of the game with ten players, so winning another trophy will boost confidence ahead of the Bundesliga opening round on Friday night.
Borussia M.Gladbach vs Bayer Leverkusen pick: Both teams to score - yes
Both teams are scoring goals regularly. Borussia Monchengladbach scored at least one goal in each of the last seven matches. On the other hand, Bayer Leverkusen scored at least one goal in each of the previous five games. Both teams to score - yes should be the best bet for this tie.

If you put everything together - the potential of the team, the size of the club, the environment, and the outstanding infrastructure - then you should be aiming for the top half of the table".
