This Bundesliga season has been a bizarre one, with a swath of unpredictable performances and surprising teams, but one thing has held true: Bayern Munich are on top of the table, and they're already looking to start trying to pull away from the pack. They're undefeated, in excellent form, and with a struggling Borussia Mönchengladbach side coming to town, they're hoping to take that next step in establishing their dominance of Germany's top league.

Gladbach's struggles have been one of those surprises, with their precipitous fall coming after a strong campaign a year ago. Thanks to a rough summer transfer window that saw them lose a couple of key players, the Foals are sitting all the way down in ninth place in the Bundesliga and they've struggled to establish any kind of consistent form. Individual players like Thorgan Hazard have impressed this season, but without the team consistently backing those individuals, they've been unable to put themselves on any kind of stable footing.
If they can put together a positive performance and take things to Bayern the way they did against Barcelona in the Champions League several weeks ago, Borussia Mönchengladbach might be able to stun everyone and get something out of this match. Even if they can’t get at least a point out of the game and can only put in a strong performance against the league’s top team, it will be a step in the right direction -- but no matter what they do in this game, it’s what they do in the games to come that matters more, because they have to establish some kind of consistency.
