The Mönchengladbach way

Borussia Mönchengladbach are one of the biggest surprises in Europe this season. Facing relegation at the end of last year, manager Lucien Favre has done a remarkable job in instilling a brand new system in his players. The league table doesn't lie, and Mönchengladbach sit in second place, above Bayern Munich and completely capable of snatching the Bundesliga title from Borussia Dortmund.

Bayern Munich's struggles away from home ever since the resumption of football in Germany last month have not gone unnoticed, particularly as the Bavarian outfit slumped to a devastating 1-0 defeat at FC Basel in the UEFA Champions League last night.

Widely considered one of Europe's three best squads along with Barcelona and Real Madrid at the beginning of the season, Bayern have not been able to follow up on a promising start, with their most recent phase of patchy form causing them to drop to third in the Bundesliga.

Borussia Monchengladbach - Hamburg 2:30pm - GolTV On a usual slow Friday for live games, GolTV brings us an interesting option from the Bundesliga. With all teams level on 22 games played, 'Gladbach trail Dortmund by three points at the top of the table. Hamburg are 7th, just out of the European places and tied with 6th-place Bayer Leverkusen on points.

This season's Bundesliga campaign has already been as exciting and enthralling as any in the recent memory, especially given the tightly contested title race. At the time of writing champions Borussia Dortmund sit top of the pile, after a great run of form has made up for a sluggish start.
