Borussia Monchengladbach will be looking to shock the world when they host Barcelona in their first ever encounter against the Spanish side. Join The Roar from 4:45am AEST for live scores.
Borussia Monchengladbach will be eager to put a poor start to their Champions League campaign behind them, but standing in their way is one of the best sides of all time.
Monchengladbach suffered a 4-0 loss to Manchester City on opening day, and now face a side that took out Celtic 7-0 in their own tournament opener.
However, Monchengladbach have been in good form in the Bundesliga, currently sitting in fourth spot just two points behind Borussia Dortmund and five behind Bayern Munich.
Barcelona will enter Germany looking to emulate their performance against Celtic.
Sitting second on the La Liga table, and top of Group C in the Champions League, Barcelona have a golden opportunity to put a poor record in Germany behind them.
The Spainsh side has failed to win their last three matches on German soil.
Having scored 19 goals in their past five games, including a 5-0 win over Sporting Gijon in their last fixture, the Catalans are in fine form.
Lionel Messi is still out with a groin injury, however with the likes of Luis Suarez and Neymar still on fire, it’s likely he won’t be missed too much.
Prediction
It’s a tough game for Monchengladbach, who will no doubt have their backs against a wall from the first whistle to the last. Expect Barcelona to bag another big win.
Borussia Monchengladbach 0 – 5 Barcelona
