Bayern Munich vs Monchengladbach preview - Favre spots Bayern weaknesses

Borussia Monchengladbach coach Lucien Favre insists his side will have no fear ahead of their trip to league leaders Bayern Munich this Sunday.

The Swiss coach claims he has identified weaknesses in the Bavarians' game and will be setting his side up to exploit them.

"We prepare every game to win it," Favre said at a press conference. "We have no fear. We can get something in Munich.

"Every side have their weaknesses. Perfection is impossible in football, even if Bayern are close to it.

"But there are some details that not everybody sees."

It appears only Wolfsburg managed to see them so far as they are the only club to have beaten Bayern in the league this season.

And Bayern coach Pep Guardiola has acknowledged that the Foals could cause them as many problems as the Wolves did.

"They have the second best defence after us and their defensive organisation is exceptional," said the Catalan.

"They also have good forwards who get in round the back. They are third and played two very good games against Sevilla in the Europa League.

"This is our most important game right now. If we win, we will have an 11-point advantage with eight games left and that would be very good for us."

Guardiola could give Philipp Lahm his first start since recovering from injury while Arjen Robben is also set to return and continue his pursuit of the top-scorer's prize.

Franck Ribery may only get a seat on the bench, though.

Favre has a fully-fit squad to choose from with Havard Nordtveit, Julian Korb and Roel Brouwers all available again.
