Leaving the media at a loss for words with their performances in the CL, Borussia Monchengladbach have picked up some vital results so far, even against the toughest of oppositions. There is no questioning this side’s overall quality.

As things stand, Die Fohlen sit top of Group B with five points to their name, but have a host of teams blowing hot on their tails. As defeat in this fixture could see Monchengladbach drop to as low as third, they will be desperate for a result here.

When the draws were completed, very few gave Monchengladbach the benefit of the doubt of making it past the group stages. These people can be forgiven for jumping into hasty conclusions, given the caliber of oppositions in contention with Die Fohlen.

Against all odds, Monchengladbach have made the media eat their own words with series of top-drawer displays and favorable results to go with. Working their asses off, Marco Rose’s charges picked up points against Inter Milan and Real Madrid in their opening two games.

After securing 2-2 draws against these foes, the Prussians went on to wipe the floor with Shakhtar Donetsk in a 6-0 drubbing, even in unfamiliar territory. In that game, Monchengladbach were totally rampant, leaving their Ukrainian counterparts in the lurch.

Plea the cream of the crop for the German side, the explosive forward bagged a hattrick to lead his side to an emphatic victory. Having tested positive to COVID-19 a few days ago, the Frenchman will be unavailable for this reverse fixture.

Surely, Rose would prefer to have him in the mix, but will now be forced to make do without the in-form striker. In the Bundesliga, Monchengladbach have been decent with 12 points from 8 matches to occupy seventh-place.

Faring much better than their German foes on the domestic front, Shakhtar Donetsk have amassed a whopping 20 points from an available 30 to command a second-place spot in the UPL, just three points behind table-toppers Dynamo Kyiv.

Playing really well in the Champions League, the Miners have four points to their name, and victory in this fixture could see them rise to the summit of Group B. Having lost woefully to Monchengladbach in their last CL game, Donetsk will be wary of falling prey to another heavy defeat here.

Injured or Suspended Players

Monchengladbach: Alassane Plea and Jonas Hofmann.
Shakhtar Donetsk: Maksym Malyshev, Ismaily, Yevgen Konoplyanka, Viktor Kornienko and Viktor Kovalenko.

M'gladbach vs Shakhtar Donetsk Predictions

Though both sides are well-matched, Monchengladbach managed to run riot in their 6-0 win over Donetsk on matchday 3. With Plea unavailable for selection, Die Fohlen may be a tad blunt going forward here.

They were even held to a one-all draw against Augsburg on the last matchday. The safest punt will be tipping both sides to register no less than two goals come fulltime. (Over 2.5)
