Location: Borussia Park (Monchengladbach).

Real Madrid will be looking for their first win of the 2024/21 UEFA Champions season after a shock 2-3 loss to Shakhtar Donetsk.

However, the Real Madrid team bounced back quickly with their El Clásico victory on Saturday and it definitely showed us that things are going well on the pitch when Zidane put the right players and the right formation on the field.

That's something the Frenchman lacked throughout his coaching career at Real Madrid, but he tends to make the successful adjustments when it matters most.

Notably, Real Madrid kicked off the Champions League last year with a 3-0 loss to PSG and then drew Bruges 2-2 at the Santiago Bernabéu before taking 3 wins and a draw in the next 4 to take them them to the round of XNUMX.

Borussia Monchengladbach were superb against Inter Milan, but a late goal denied them all three points in a game that ended 2-2.

Unlike their opponents on Tuesday, their start to the season is solid and they go into this game with a run of 5 unbeaten games (2W, 3L) in all competitions.

But can they accumulate more misery at Real Madrid?

The bookmakers believe that the Borussians have a chance and we see that the home win is quoted at 3,90 and the draw at 4,00. Real Madrid's victory can be supported in the region of 1,87, which is quite high.

Borussia Monchengladbach vs Real Madrid Head-to-head

The teams will meet for the first time in 25 years after playing 4 times between 1976 and 85. The overall record is tied at 1 win and 1 draw each.

We saw both teams scoring in 3 of them and over 3,5 goals in three as well.

Gladbach has a poor record against Spanish teams and has only managed 4 wins and 4 draws out of 16 while losing in 8. The home record is 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses out of 8.

Real Madrid have faced German teams 70 times and their record stands at 34 wins, 13 draws and 23 defeats.

Their record on German soil is poor, having won just 7 of 33 matches, drawing 7 and losing 19.

However, they are unbeaten in their last four trips to Germany, beating Bayern twice, drawing and defeating Dortmund once.

Borussia Monchengladbach vs Real Madrid prediction

Before jumping into predictions, for any of them to come true, Zidane must line up his top eleven. Otherwise, we will see a result like the first round.

The key is Benzema, Vinicius and one of Rodrygo or Asensio up front with Valverde, Casemiro with Kroos or Modric in the middle while the defensive duo of Varane and Ramos must be flanked by Mendy and Nacho or Lucas on the right wing.

So this is the line-up we can support Real Madrid's odd 1,87 win with, as they gained enough confidence in their 3-1 win at Camp Nou on Saturday. I would like to remind you that the margin could have been bigger if it weren't for some brilliant scales by Neto.

I'm also hoping to see some goals, yes at both ends, as the likes of Marcus Thuram and Alassane Plea have the potential to give Madrid's defenders a lot of headaches. This will complement their high pressure playing style, so over 2,5 goals, although the odd price of 1,50 is the safest option.

Along with that, I will back Vinicius Junior to score at any point in the match, as the young Brazilian has scored 3 times in his last 5 matches in all competitions, including one against Shakhtar from the bench.
