UCL; Manchester City Vs Borussia Monchengladbach - all the signs point towards an easy win for Guardiola’s men on Tuesday.
Manchester City claimed to victories either side of that game, seeing off West Ham, Wolves, Southampton and Fulham. Having netted a combined total of 14 goals across their five games since the first leg, Man City remain miles clear at the top of the Premier League table.

Borussia Monchengladbach are enduring a hugely testing period at the moment. The German side have failed to win any of their previous seven Bundesliga games, picking up five defeats and two draws in that time. A 3-1 loss to Augsburg on Saturday means that Gladbach have lost each of their last four league matches, slipping to tenth in the Bundesliga table as a result.
Borussia Monchengladbach’s last victory came against Stuttgart in the German Cup back in early February. Since then, they have failed to win any of their nine outings in all competitions. It goes without saying that Gladbach will need to perform a minor miracle in order to turn things around on Tuesday.
