B. Monchengladbach vs Real Madrid Prediction & Betting tips
Two big names in European football will face each other in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday evening. On the one hand Borussia Mönchengladbach, whose most successful times in international business go back to the 1970s, and on the other hand, Real Madrid, a club that has won the premier class a total of 13 times.
Even if the gap between the two clubs has widened in the recent past, a hard-fought or evenly-balanced duel is ahead of the second match day in Group B. Before the match between Gladbach and Real Madrid, a look at the odds shows that the Spanish champions are currently far from their top form and are also under great pressure.
Because the Madrilenians lost sensationally at home against Shakhtar Donetsk at the beginning, Zinedine Zidane’s team in Borussia Park actually needs a three-point in order not to jeopardize the round of 16. Although Los Blancos won the Clásico 3-1 in Barcelona at the weekend, the latest impressions make it too tricky for us to predict the away win between Gladbach and Real Madrid.
The Bundesliga team will fight a defeat with all their might and brimming with self-confidence after good results recently. And who knows, maybe the foals on Tuesday evening will actually be the German team that will finally bust the European heavyweight from the Spanish capital at home. Nine times in a row, Real did not leave a German stadium as a loser.
Gladbach:
In the Bundesliga, Borussia Mönchengladbach got off to a decent start to the season. Although the foals only celebrated their second victory at the 3-2 win in Mainz at the weekend, they are still fifth in the Champions League with eight points. The narrow success in Rheinhessen could still have a positive effect for a long time, because despite a 1: 2 deficit in the meantime, the Rose-Elf fought back and only turned the game in the final quarter of an hour.
Nevertheless, it became clear once again that the defensive in particular still needs a lot of optimization. In five Bundesliga games, keeper Yann Sommer had to reach behind him eight times; there were also two goals conceded at the Champions League opener at Inter Milan. This is probably one of the reasons why, before the duel between Gladbach and Real Madrid, the odds of the best bookmakers tend to point to a match with at least three goals.
Against the Spanish champions it must therefore be the first motto to keep the zero as long as possible in order to eventually celebrate only the second home win in their own Champions League history. Although Marco Rose is usually a coach who takes a courageous, offensive approach, he will probably give his protégés a more cautious route, especially since the Niederrheinländer only managed one clean in the past ten games in the premier class Reach sheet.
After the 2-2 draw on the first match day at Inter Milan, the Bundesliga team also has no excessive pressure on the boiler, which is why the foals, who will also play their first home game in the most important European club competition since 2016, can go into the game from a compact basic order . The most notable failure is that of Denis Zakaria. Otherwise, all service providers are on board. Changes compared to the 3-2 in Mainz are also likely.
Real Madrid:
If Real Madrid had lost the Clásico to FC Barcelona at the weekend, the word crisis for the current situation with the reigning Spanish title holder would certainly not have been used only once. Especially the first two matches after the international break made it clear that Zinedine Zidane’s team still has a lot of sand in the gear.
First, Los Blancos embarrassedly lost 1-0 at home against newly promoted Cadiz, then it was also a sobering 3-2 defeat against Shakhtar Donetsk. The 3-1 win against their arch-rivals from Catalonia allows the capitals to breathe deeply for the time being, although the three points they won against Barca shouldn’t hide the fact that the Madrilenians had the necessary ounce of luck on Saturday, especially with the penalty decision to make it 2-1 , had on their side.
The bottom line is that the Champions League winner from 2016 to 2018 no longer spreads the fear and horror as it did some time ago. The star ensemble has problems to undermine well-defending defensives and at the same time has to recognize that their own defensive line, especially when Sergio Ramos is missing (as against Donetsk), seems extremely vulnerable.
At this point, we’re not sure whether the team is already stable enough to cope with this pressure situation. Logically, we forego a tip between Gladbach and Real Madrid in favor of the guests. We also don’t believe that the offensive will break in Borussia Park, of all places. Just nine goals on the first seven La Liga match days are no coincidence. After all, the return of Eden Hazard’s squad gives some hope. Only Carvajal and Odegaard are missing.
