REAL MADRID VS BORUSSIA MONCHENGLADBACH PREDICTION
Only a win here for Real Madrid would see them overtake Borussia Monchengladbach in Group B and secure their place in the knockout stage, although a draw may be enough should Shakhtar Donetsk slip up against Internazionale. The loss of Eden Hazard to injury represents a huge blow for ‘Los Blancos’, who face a side that have racked up 16 goals in five group matches. Home advantage for Zinedine Zidane’s side could prove vital, although it is difficult to see them keeping a clean sheet against the ultra-attacking visitors. However, this match is seen as arguably the biggest in Monchengladbach’s recent history and question marks will rightly be asked about whether their players can stand up to such a mental challenge. Regardless of that, with Real Madrid’s last two Group B home matches ending 2-3 and 3-2 respectively, it would be a surprise if this game doesn’t turn out similarly, with both teams finding the net and over 2.5 goals scored over the course of the 90 minutes.
