They continue their quest in the league, with an away trip to Borussia M\u00f6nchengladbach. The Foals are rooted to the foot of the league and, as Chuck mentioned in the stream\u2019s description, it\u2019s a total dumpster fire at that club. At least a dumpster fire has a, well, fire inside it which came from a spark, so will Gladbach have either of those at all?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">With the joint-lowest goal tally in the Bundesliga (six measly goals) and a defence leakier than an overflowing dam, Gladbach are about to get a real dreizehn down because Bayern aren\u2019t going to mess about.
