Borussia Mönchengladbach

The match will be played at the Puskas Arena in Budapest. Ie on neutral ground.

And for Gladbach, the most important thing to note is that the news of the upcoming abdication of coach Marco Rose had an extremely bad effect on the atmosphere at the club.

Even the team captain expressed his deep disappointment. And the result of the loss to Mainz in the next match was seen.

Manchester City

Man City are not only leaders in the Premier League standings. But they are also in a series of 18 consecutive victories.

And Hussep Guardiola has undoubtedly found the winning formula, which you can read about in the following article:

Noting that even in the group stage of the Champions League they conceded only 1 goal.

Forecast for Gladbach - Man City

For this match, I can't find anything positive in favor of Borussia Mönchengladbach to catch.

Totally broken mental team in bad shape with poor results. And against far lower quality than today's rival.

Even in the group stage, when they did not have the current internal problem, they miraculously slipped in with 2 victories only over Shakhtar.

And against Real Madrid and Inter scored only 2 points from a total of 4 matches.

What then can we expect from such a team against Manchester City?

A team that in the Premier League against stronger and at least comparable to Gladbach rivals allows an average of 0.53 xGA per game.

At the same time, in recent months, Pep Guardiola's team has averaged 2.21 xGF per game.

Our Prediction Borussia Mönchengladbach Manchester City

For its first participation in the Champions League, Borussia Monchengladbach inherited a difficult draw in the round of 16 of the competition. Badly in the Bundesliga, the German club will have to expect a complicated meeting against a Manchester City team which is currently unbeatable. For our prediction, we are betting on a success of Manchester City.
