Champions League Preview, Borussia Monchengladbach Vs. Manchester City: Live Stream, Prediction, Starting Lineups, And Betting Tips
Manchester City will look to win and ensure their qualification from Group C when they travel to Borussia Monchengladbach tonight.
Pep Guardiola’s Man City fought back to beat group leader Barcelona 3-1 in their last UCL match. Now, a draw would be enough for them to qualify for the next round if Celtic lose to Barcelona in the group’s other fixture.
The home side must win — or draw — and hope Celtic beat Barcelona to preserve any hope of progressing. A draw would secure third place for the Bundesliga side if Celtic lose to Barcelona.
COME ON CITY!!

Manchester City defeated Borussia Monchengladbach both times when they were in the same group in last year’s Champions League.
Team News: Borussia Monchengladbach
Andre’s Schubert’s team has shown no sign of any injuries, and all the players look rather fit for the showdown against Manchester City.
Their form looks pretty disrupted at the moment as their domestic and European form is below ordinary. They currently reside in 13th place with 12 points in the Bundesliga table.
Kramer and Korb are ruled out of the match due to suspensions. Marvin Schulz, who has yet to play this season, resumed training after coming back from a hip injury.

Pep Guardiola’s side looks partly troubled by injuries. Captain Vincent Kompany picked up an injury during the match against Crystal Palace, which will rule him out of the match against Gladbach.
Fabien Delph has yet to recover from a knock, and he too will be unavailable for the selection.
Yaya Toure, making his first Premier League appearance of the season in the last game, scored both goals in the 2-1 win against Crystal Palace on Saturday. However, he cannot play in this game, as the Ivorian is not included in Man City’s Champions League squad this season.
