Ace Football previews the Champions League game between Monchengladbach and Manchester City and offers betting tips, odds, line-ups, and team news.
Manchester City switch their attention to the Champions League as they take on Borussia Monchengladbach at the Puskas Arena.
The Citizens are on devastating form at the moment, and the question remains as to who can stop them.
City have won their last 18 games across all competitions in a run that started back in November.
It’s more impressive that they haven’t trailed at all during their last 17 Premier League fixtures.
There is a further reason why Monchengladbach should be scared. City also enter this tie after four straight wins against German sides in this competition, with the English champions-elect banging in an average of 3.5 goals per game.
Monchengladbach have only won one out of their last five fixtures across all competitions. In what is their first-ever round of 16 clash, they have it all to do against Europe’s most in-form side.
