Real Madrid - B. Monchengladbach Prediction, Picks and Tips

Borussia Mönchengladbach could hardly have imagined a much more exciting showdown on the last day of the Champions League group phase in the fight for a place in the round of 16. In fact, in Group B, all four teams still have the chance to make it to the next round. The team from the Lower Rhine is now in pole position. If the odds on a point win by the guests between Real Madrid and Gladbach pay off, regardless of whether it is a draw or a win, the team of coach Marco Rose would no longer have the ticket for the round of 16. Even in the event of a defeat, the Bundesliga team would hibernate in the premier class, provided that Shakhtar Donetsk and Inter Milan share the points in the parallel game. Of course, the foals don't want to rely on that. Instead, the clear aim is to play for victory with the insecure Madrilenians. This venture is by no means hopeless, because on the one hand Borussia was already close to defeating the multiple European Cup winners in the first leg in their own stadium. On the other hand, the Spaniards currently seem more vulnerable than rarely before. Although Sergio Ramos, probably the home side's most important player, will return after injury, in view of the last appearances and impressions between Real Madrid and Gladbach, a prognosis for the double chance X / 2 is close. Alternatively, one can even consider placing bets on the two-way market in favor of the Rose Elf, especially since the guests could play into the cards that the Galactic, knowing that they urgently need a win, will have to take more risk as the game progresses .

Real Madrid are facing Truth Week, both nationally and especially internationally. Before Los Blancos fight against Atletico in the La Liga city derby at the weekend to prevent the deficit on the “Rojiblancos” from growing to nine points, Wednesday evening will be about what is perhaps the most important European Cup match in recent club history. The fact that this is taking place during the group phase of all things is an indication that things have not been going well at all for Zinedine Zidane and his protégés. After only seven points from the first five games, the star ensemble from the Spanish capital is threatened with the first preliminary round in the premier class in the 29th attempt. The Madrilenians lost four of their last seven Champions League matches and revealed undreamt-of deficits, particularly in the two defeats against Shakhtar Donetsk and the flattering draw in the first leg in Mönchengladbach. Nine goals conceded in five games underline the defensive instability, which, by the way, was also noticeable on the Spanish floor. After six consecutive games in which keeper Courtois always had to reach behind them at least once, the Zidane-Elf celebrated a 1-0 victory in Seville that gives hope. Because the Champions League winner 2016, 2017 and 2018 is currently far from his top form and logically there is inhuman pressure on the already insecure professionals, we would be careful with that, just because of the reputation and the successful tradition between Real Madrid and Gladbach to give a tip on the home win. The fact is that the Spaniards absolutely need a threesome to advance and accordingly have to take risks. From the point of view of the supposed favorite, it is all the more important that Sergio Ramos will celebrate his comeback after a month's break from injury. For Carvajal, Valverde and Hazard, however, an operation on Wednesday comes too early.

Borussia Mönchengladbach can make history on Wednesday. Will the Bundesliga club succeed in the big coup in Madrid? The fact that this would be synonymous with the historic elimination of the Galactic should not interest coach Marco Rose as much as his own chance to reach the round of 16. Before the start of the group phase, hardly anyone would have expected that the foals could have serious prospects for the next round, but thanks to great performances, the team from the Lower Rhine is now in the best starting position. A tie would be enough to get the ticket for the round of 16. The third attempt after 2015/16 and 2016/17 would be the first time that Borussia survived the preliminary round. From the point of view of Thuram, Plea and Co., it will be important to build on the strong performances from the games against Shakhtar Donetsk or the first leg at home against Real Madrid. The sensation can only succeed if the Gladbachers stay focused throughout the entire season and don't make mistakes as simple defensively as they did at the 2-2 in Freiburg on the weekend. In order to justify a forecast on the guest between Real Madrid and Gladbach, it is worth taking a look at the psyche. In contrast to the Spanish champion, who fights against a huge embarrassment, the foals should benefit from the mentality of the opportunity to achieve what is certainly the greatest success in the club's recent history. Statistically, it should also be mentioned that the Rose-Elf have scored in all five previous group games and with 16 goals scored together with FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich, they even have the best offensive of the competition. Bensebaini and Hofmann are out. Whether Elvedi and Jantschke will get fit in time is also still in the stars. If necessary, Kramer has to help out again in the defensive back four. The last form strong Embolo is an alternative for the offensive, in which the eyes should be on Plea. The Frenchman has been involved in eight goals so far (five goals, three assists).
