Borussia Monchengladbach v Man City Preview

This is a must win game for Borussia Monchengladbach if they are to hold any hopes of qualifying for the knock-out stages of the Champions League and there is a danger they get torn to shreds on the counter-attack.

When these teams met in the reverse fixture, City battered them 4-0 at the Etihad and although Guardiola’s team struggles for consistency they should be too strong.

Gladbach aren’t approaching this game in much form. They haven’t won in the Bundesliga since late September (six without a win) and the goals have dried up with only one scored during that period.

There is a scenario where City settle for a draw to take second place in the group behind Barcelona but they are comfortably the better team and should win at 4/5 (Bet365).
