Real Madrid will host Borussia Monchengladbach in a crucial encounter of the Champions League matchday 6 on Wednesday. The kick-off is at 21:00 CET.

Preview

As things stand now, the situation in the Group B is as follows:

• Borussia M'gladbach - 8 points
• Shakhtar Donetsk - 7 points
• Real Madrid - 7 points
• Inter Milan - 5 points

Thus, regardless of an outcome in Inter's clash with Shakhtar at the Giuseppe Meazza on the same day, Zinedine Zidane's men badly need to claim a home victory over the Bundesliga outfit to qualify for the the CL last-16 round.

The La Liga champions managed to bounce back from their back-to-back defeats to Alaves and Shakhtar in the 1-0 win over Sevilla over the weekend. Marco Rose's side, in turm, failed to defeat out-of-form Freiburg in the domestic league on Saturday.

Eden Hazard and Luka Jovic will miss the encounter while Madrid's captain Sergio Ramos is in line to make his injury return on Wednesday. Centre-backs Nico Elvedi and Tony Jantschke also remain unavailable for the visitors.

Prediction

Madrid were quite fortunate to register a 2-2 draw at Borussia-Park in October but you arguably shouldn't expect Rose's men to be that confident in the Spanish capital. We'd say that the 13-time European champions won't embarass themselves this time around and will secure their place in the competition's knockout stages.
