Borussia Monchengladbach will be aiming to end Manchester City’s 18-game winning streak when the two sides clash in the Champions League Round of 16 on Wednesday.
Due to the ongoing health crisis, the first leg will be held at Budapest’s Puskas Arena, although Man City are classed as the away team.
Unfortunately, Borussia Monchengladbach head into the first leg on a four-match winless run in the Bundesliga.
After winning four of their five league matches in January, Gladbach have since registered two draws and two defeats.
This poor run has seen the German side slip to eighth in the Bundesliga table – 16 points behind leaders Bayern Munich.
Earlier in the campaign, Gladbach only narrowly qualified for the Round of 16, advancing on goal difference at the expense of Shakhtar Donetsk.
The German recorded two wins, two draws and two losses in Group B, finishing two points behind Real Madrid.
On the other hand, Manchester City simply cannot stop winning at the moment. In fact, Pep Guardiola's men have won each of their previous 18 outings in all competitions.
Better still, Man City are also enjoying a 25-match unbeaten streak in all competitions, with their last defeat coming all the way back in November.
13 straight victories in the Premier League have seen Guardiola’s side create a seemingly unassailable lead at the top of the English top-flight.
Barring a catastrophe, Man City look set to win the Premier League title by a considerable margin this season.
Not only are Guardiola’s men the joint-top scorers in the EPL, but they also boast the best defensive record in the division by some distance.
Head-to-head: Gladbach and Man City last faced each other during the 2016/17 Champions League campaign, with City going unbeaten in this fixture that season.
Following a convincing 4-0 win in England, Man City secured a 1-1 draw in Germany, meaning they have only lost one of their six meetings with Gladbach over the years.
Team news: Borussia Monchengladbach trio Torben Musel, Famana Quizera and Mamadou Doucoure are all currently sidelined through injury.
As for Man City, Nathan Ake is their only injury concern. Other than that, Guardiola has a full-strength squad – and that is not good news for Gladbach!
At the end of the day, it is difficult to ignore Man City’s seemingly unstoppable winning streak in all competitions at the moment.
Forebet predicts that Man City will extend their winning run to 19 games with a victory over Gladbach on Wednesday, scoring over 2.5 goals in Budapest.
