The best game of the weekend takes us to Monchengladbach as Borussia Monchengladbach hosts Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday May 23, 2020. This game will air live on FS2 at 9:30 a.m. EST. Both teams picked up right where they left off in their first games back last weekend.

Borussia Monchengladbach find themselves in a fringe title race, but also are trying to hold on to their Champions League spot. Monchengladbach currently sit in third place in the table and trail leaders Bayern Munich by just six points. However, they only lead sixth place Bayer Leverkusen by two points, so a loss this weekend could see Monchengladbach move down to the Europa League spots come Monday.

Bayer Leverkusen are one of the most exciting teams in Germany and now find themselves right in thick of the Champions League race. Leverkusen currently occupy the first Europa League spot, in fifth place, but are just one point back of fourth place RB Leipzig. A win will see Bayer Leverkusen slide into one of the Champions League spots.

Below is my pick for the Bundesliga action between Borussia Monchengladbach and Bayer Leverkusen. All odds are from DraftKings Sportsbook.

Borussia Monchengladbach (+135) vs Bayer Leverkusen (+180) Draw (+260)

Borussia Monchengladbach got off to a firing start last weekend as they scored two goals in the first seven minutes to ease their way past Eintracht Frankfurt. It was a dream start for Monchengladbach as they are still hoping to catch Bayern and win the Bundesliga title. Borussia Monchengladbach have now won two straight games and are unbeaten in eight of their last 10 games. Monchengladbach are tied for the second-best home club in Germany, with Bayern Munich, as the hosts have gone 9-2-2 and won 29 points on their home turf.

Bayer Leverkusen played Monday night, at Werder Bremen, and cruised to an easy 4-1 road win. Kai Havertz notched two first half goals and that was all Leverkusen needed to get the win. Mitchell Weiser and Kerem Demirbay added two insurance goals in the second half to finish off Werder Bremen. Bayer Leverkusen have now won four straight games, nine of their last 10 games overall, and are unbeaten in 11 straight games. Leverkusen are tied for the second-best road record in the league as they have gone 8-1-4 and have won 25 points away from their home stadium.

Series History: Since 2006, these two clubs have met 29 times and it is Bayer Leverkusen who holds a slight 14-5-10 advantage.

Game Prediction: I think this could be one of the most exciting games in Germany this season and I like Borussia Monchengladbach to get the victory.
