⚽️ Match: Real Madrid – Monchengladbach
⚽️ Competition: Champions League
🗓 Date: 09.12.2020
Real Madrid: Team information, current form, absent
After 5 stages, Real Madrid is in an ungrateful position. Zidane’s team ranks 3rd in the standings, the one that leads to the UEFA Europa League in the spring. Moreover, there are real chances for the team to finish last, a real historical disaster. Real has only 2 victories, both in front of Inter. Instead, Los Blancos were defeated twice by Sahtior Donetsk, the team that ranks second. However, the calculations may return to normal today, if Inter and Real Madrid prevail. Conte and Zidane would go together in the eighth. Over the weekend, the “whites” took a dose of optimism, after the victory with Sevilla, 1-0 away.
- ABSENT: Valverde, Jovic, Hazard, Mariano, Carvajal (medical problems)
- LIKE TEAM: Courtois – Vazquez, Varane, Nacho, Mendy – Kroos, Modric, Odegaard – Vinicius, Benzema, Rodrygo
Monchengladbach: Team information, current form, absent
Gladbach had the opportunity last season to qualify in the eighth. However, the team seriously complicated the calculations after the home defeat with Inter, score 3-2. Now, the blacks and whites are in the first position, with 8 accumulated points. However, Sahtior and Real Madrid are waiting at the turn, being at a length behind them. In the championship, Monchengladbach drew 2-2 at the weekend, on the field of Freiburg. It is the 3rd game in a row in which Gladbach scores but also receive a goal, so we see the offensive style of the team.
- ABSENT: Bensebaini, Elvedi, Hofmann (medical problems)
Real Madrid vs Monchengladbach Picks
These decisive matches are the specialty of Zinedine Zidane. The great team position has always been observed at Los Blancos, even this season. The team was motivated with Inter or Barcelona, in duels in which they were forced to win. Now, “with the knife to the bone” and with the qualification on the table, I expect Real Madrid to prevail. The team is in her hands, and a victory takes her to the UEFA Champions League in the spring. It is quite difficult to imagine a spring Europa League with Real Madrid.
