Bayern level

This is a top goal from the hosts. A sweeping move begins with De Ligt feeding Sané. He paces forward before Pavlović and Müller take over with a combination that sends the former through on goal. Pavlović makes no mistake with just Nicolas to beat, the 19-year-old slamming home.

Gladbach memories

Just as in the teams' first meeting this season, Gladbach took a 1-0 lead against Bayern with a defender on target. On Matchday 3, it was Ko Itakura who opened the scoring in the 30th minute. Bayern went on to win the contest 2-1.

Gladbach ahead

Scenes at the Allianz Arena! Gladbach have been coming into this game little by little and now they've hit the front! Neuer's pass along the floor to Müller in a central position is robbed by Elvedi. He trots forward, plays a one-two with Jordan on the edge of the area and then applies a neat finish in at the near post. The away fans erupt.

Big Sané miss

The defending Bundesliga champions really should be ahead here. Davies nips in to rob possession and immediately feeds Müller in a central position. The Bayern legend slips a pass through for Sané who takes a touch before scooping wide of the far post. You've really got to score those.

'Never again is now!'

Under this slogan, German professional football is commemorating the victims of National Socialism on and around 27 January, the date of liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp. This is the 20th year in which the DFL and the Bundesliga and Bundesliga 2 clubs have been involved in the “day of commemoration in German football” in cooperation with the “!Nie Wieder” (“!Never Again”) initiative. In light of current events, the day of commemoration around Matchdays 19 and 20 (26–28 January and 2–4 February) will focus on the topic of antisemitism.

Freund's view on Gladbach

Speaking in place of the ill Thomas Tuchel, sporting director Christoph Freund said: "We're expecting Gladbach to play in a similar way to they did last week in Leverkusen. It definitely won't be an easy game. Gladbach have a lot of quality, are good in transition. They played very well last Saturday in Leverkusen. It'll be a big challenge, but we want to win."
camera-photo

Seoane's view on Bayern

"Our idea is similar to last Saturday [against Bayer Leverkusen], to prepare ourselves ideally for our opponents, to deliver our best possible performance in all phases of the game, knowing that it'll need a bit of extra effort from our side. We know we'll need a very good day, and we can also admit we need Bayern to not have the best day."

Title omens

Second-placed Bayern have 47 points on the board heading into Matchday 20. They had 40 points at the same juncture last term, before going on to claim the title on the final day, on goal difference.
