BAY vs MOB Dream11 Tips for Bayern Munich vs Borussia Monchengladbach Bundesliga Fixtures 8 May

BAY vs MOB Dream11: Soon to be champions, Bayern Munich, welcomes Borussia Monchengladbach to the Allianz Arena. Bayern could go into this game as champions should Leipzig lose to Dortmund in an earlier fixture. They do however go into this game on the back of a poor 2-1 defeat to Mainz. There is a lot more at stake for Gladbach who face an uphill battle in their fight for the Champions League spots. They are 4 points off of 6th placed Leverkusen and will want to put as much pressure on them as possible. They responded to a disappointing defeat to Hoffenheim with a 5-0 thrashing of Arminia Bielefeld.

Date: 8th May, Saturday
Kick-Off: 10 pm (IST)
Venue: Allianz Arena, Munich

Bundesliga Table: Bayern Munich is 1st in the league with Monchengladbach in 7th spot.

Fantasy Football Tips

Captain Options

Robert Lewandowski – Lewandowksi will be fired up for this game as he chases Gerd Muller’s record. The Polish international has scored 36 goals and 6 assists in the league in just 25 starts. Lewa has a goal contribution in each of his last 13 games which is unheard of at the professional level.

Thomas Muller – Playing behind Lewandowksi, Muller has scored 10 goals and assisted 17 times in the league this season. He has created 101 chances, attempted 16 shots on target and succeeded in 77% of his attempted dribbles. The German international has also whipped in 23 accurate crosses.

Differential Pick

Lars Stindl – The German international has picked up 12 goals and 6 assists this season. He has done well to create 44 chances, attempted 26 shots on target and completed 64% of his attempted dribbles. Stindl also maintains an impressive pass accuracy of 83% despite playing much higher up the pitch. He is in fine form too with 2 goals and an assist in his last 3 games for the club.

BAY vs MOB Dream 11 Teams

Goalkeeper – Sommer
Defenders – Elvedi, Pavard, Davies
Midfielders – Kramer, Stindl, Gnabry, Goretzka, Kimmich
Forwards – Muller (VC), Lewandowski (C)

Likely Winner:

Despite having all but won the title, Bayern will show no signs of stopping so as to give Hansi Flick a fitting send-off. Lewandowski is just 5 goals off a historic record and will not want to stop now. Marco Rose must’ve watched Bayern’s defeat to Mainz very closely and will try to exploit their vulnerabilities in the BAY vs MOB Today Match Prediction. However, the Gladbach defence will be in for a long game as their opponents have scored 86 goals in just 31 games in the league. Bayern Munich should win this game although it will be a close contest.
