B. Monchengladbach vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting tips
This week, part two of the first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 is on the agenda. Like last week, a German team will compete in the Puskas Arena in a neutral position. On Wednesday evening, Gladbach and Manchester City face each other in the Hungarian capital Budapest.
Due to the current travel regulations, flying from the UK is still prohibited from entering Germany. So Gladbach had to emigrate into exile for the biggest game in the club’s recent history.
Gladbach :
The further development under the now departing Marco Rose at Borussia Monchengladbach in the recent past cannot be dismissed. Last season the foals failed in the Europa League group stage with eight points, this season they made it into the Champions League round of 16 for the first time.
The foals almost deprived themselves of the fruits of their labor when there were bitter, late goals to cope with on the first two match days. However, a splendid double against Shakhtar Donetzk paved the way to the second round. The two games against Manchester City are the first international knockout duel (excluding qualifiers) in over 40 years.
The hopes for a sensation against the almost overwhelming opponent rest in particular on the Frenchman Alassane Plea. Not particularly convincing in the league with three goals and one assist, the attacker has already scored five hits and four assists in the Champions League.
However, the preparation for the biggest game in the club’s recent history is by no means satisfactory. With Marco Rose’s move to BVB, there is a lot of unrest in and around the club. The players like captain Lars Stindl were disappointed with this decision.
There is not only disappointment among the supporters, but also anger and sometimes even hatred. The first league game after it became known, which was lost against FSV Mainz 05 with 1: 2 and thus the already heated atmosphere became even more explosive, was not necessarily beneficial.
A defeat that could well herald a crisis. With Manchester City, Leipzig, BVB and Bayer Leverkusen, a strong quartet is now waiting for the strong Gladbach team.
Manchester City:
Pep Guardiola made the weakest start in his coaching career this season. After missing the title last year, things did not go as planned again at first, but at the end of February there was no longer any talk of it. The Skyblues from Manchester lived up to their role as favorites and now nobody doubts the seventh Premier League title in the club’s history.
In the last few weeks and months in particular, de Bruyne & Co. have been in excellent shape. On December 15, City had to be satisfied with a draw for the last time, for the last defeat you even have to go back to November 21, 2020.
On Sunday, a goal from Raheem Sterling after 75 playing seconds made the difference in the top game with Arsenal. Thanks to the 18th win of the season in the 25th league game, the view of the current Premier League table is extremely convenient. With 13 laps to go, the designated champions are already ten points ahead of city rivals Manchester United.
The team around Ilkay Gundogan starts the trip to Budapest with a lot of self-confidence. Although autumn 2020 was still sown with slips, things went well in the Champions League from the start. The Skyblues collected 16 of 18 possible points, who only had to be content with a goalless draw in the last group game against FC Porto. Overall, goalkeeper Ederson conceded just one goal in the group stage (on matchday one).
Most recently, Manchester City was able to keep a clean slate five times in a row. Nevertheless, due to the enthusiasm of the foals in the duel Gladbach against Manchester City, the tip that both teams will not score is not a good option.
