Manchester City - Borussia Monchengladbach Football Prediction, Betting Tip & Match Preview

This Tuesday, March 16, 2021, Manchester City faces Borussia Monchengladbach in a match counting for the knockout stages of the 2020-2021 edition of the Champions League. This match will take place at the Puskas Arena in Budapest (Hungary) and kick off will be at 9:00 p.m. During the first leg, on February 24, Manchester City won 2-0 thanks to the achievements of Bernardo Silva and Gabriel Jesus.

Will there be a surprise in the rematch?

This rematch will be played again in Budapest. But now the symbolic host is Manchester City.

I try to remember what most often happens in a rematch with an almost foretold end.

After a 2-0 victory as a guest of the favorite team.

What do you think?

Whether Borussia Mönchengladbach can create a big sensation. And whether Man City can help them

The answer is a surprising YES.

But the word "big" is only up to the "partial" level. Assuming a draw or a minimal victory for Gladbach are in this range.

I tell you, this is a really common development. And at the very first sign I had turned to him.

Yes but no. There is no way to make it simple.

Gladbach was unlikely to shock Man City!

First of all, this is not a 1/16 final of the Bulgarian Cup, for example.

Secondly, here at the head of one team is the insatiable and ambitious Pep Guardiola.

Third, this same one easily allows 5 or more rotations per match without affecting the team's results at all.

Manchester City are successful in all competitions in which they participate. And they are only 4 wins from the Premier League title.

The citizens have conceded only 1 goal in their last 7 matches of the Champions League.

At the same time, Borussia Mönchengladbach have only one goal scored in their last 3 matches.

In the first match between these two teams, Man City allowed only 0.51 xG for Gladbach, see xG data . Ie have neutralized them.

On top of all that, right now Borussia have huge internal club problems. And there is complete chaos among them.

Forecast for Man City - Gladbach

Playing cat and mouse in this match does not require a goal fiesta at all.

Someone's minimal victory or even zero draw would only surprise the Bookmaker.

Judging by the odds offered to us for such a choice.

Well, I played for him then. Without worrying about whether there will be an element of any surprise.
