Shakhtar Donetsk vs B. Monchengladbach Prediction & Betting tips
In group B of the Champions League, both Shakhtar Donetsk and Borussia Mönchengladbach are surprisingly in good shape. Both teams remained unbeaten against both Real Madrid and Inter, so the winner of this head-to-head encounter is doing excellent business in the battle for winter in the European ball of millions.
Shakhtar Donetsk:
In almost every edition of the Champions League we see a surprise that makes it quite difficult for the established order. The last two seasons those roles were reserved for Atalanta and Ajax, and this time it may be Shakhtar Donetsk’s turn. The Ukrainians already managed to stunt by winning 2-3 at Real Madrid, and also last week The Miners – albeit with the necessary luck – remained standing with a goalless draw against Inter.
Shakhtar Donetsk is doing well and would take a huge step towards a place in the eighth finals of the Champions League with a victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach. However, the Ukrainians are still ravaged by corona, as Dentinho, Fernando and Viktor Kovalenko are still three key players in quarantine. Former Schalke 04 attacker Yevgeni Konoplyanka can also write a reunion with Borussia Mönchengladbach on his stomach due to a muscle injury. Trainer Luis Castro will therefore again have to appeal to young talents such as Marcos Antonio, Dodo, Tete and Manor Solomon.
Borussia Mönchengladbach:
Borussia Mönchengladbach played a 2-2 draw against Inter and Real Madrid. A great performance, although the Germans actually did themselves short in both duels, because they let a lead slip through the fingers both against the Italians and last week against the Spaniards. So two points from two duels is actually a bad reflection of what Borussia Mönchengladbach has shown so far, because in both duels Die Fohlen had actually earned more.
Whether Borussia Mönchengladbach finally manages to win on Tuesday evening will largely depend on the form of Marcus Thuram. The French attacker earned a penalty against Inter two weeks ago, and was twice accurate against Real Madrid last week. With this, he has already scored twice as much in barely two Champions League matches as his father Lilian in 75 appearances. The German self-confidence is fine, because last weekend they won 1-0 against RB Leipzig in-house. The only blemish on that match was Nico Elvedi’s out injured, although it is expected that the defender will be able to get back into action against Shakhtar Donetsk.
