Manchester City thrashed Fulham 3-0 in their Premier League outing on Saturday and will be heading to Budapest next, where they’re set to host German side Borussia Monchengladbach. That win was City’s 23rd in 24 matches; they go to this clash leading the tie 2-0 from the first leg. They’ve lost just once in the last 31 matches and are well on course for a quadruple this season. Manchester City are unbeaten in their last seven Champions League matches, with six straight clean sheets therein. They’ve lost just once in their last 17 Champions League matches. The biggest advantage City have in these games is the size of their squad and quality of the players. In the last two matches alone, Pep Guardiola has made 12 changes to the team and they won both matches, scoring eight goals. The biggest news in the last game was the inclusion on Sergio Aguero, who would go on to score. City now need just 14 points to win the Premier League, and are also in the League Cup final. They are definitely the favorites against Monchengladbach.

Borussia Monchengladbach lost yet again on Friday, falling 3-1 to Augsburg. It was their sixth straight loss and not a very good warm up to this game against Manchester City. In their last eight matches now, Monchengladbach have seven losses and a draw. They’ve won once in the last 10 and have three clean sheets only in the last 15 matches. In their last five games alone, Monchengladbach have conceded 10 goals and head here with three straight losses in the Champions League. They’ve conceded at least two goals in each of their last three Champions League matches. The announcement by the club that at the end of the season manager Marco Rose will be leaving is said to be among the reasons for the team’s slump. It will be curious to see how he marshals his charges for this game, given winning the Champions League is the only route for them to the competition next season.
