Before the start of the group stage, who could have guessed that Shakhtar and Borussia M would lead their group standings at the time of the first head-to-head meeting? You can consider yourself a tough seer and rest on your laurels. The Ukrainian champions are perhaps the main sensation of the opening rounds, a club that, forced to play with almost the second lineup, took four points with Real Madrid and Inter. His German opponent today was supposed to meet in the third round with maximum points in the piggy bank, but twice he let his rivals go offensively in the final minutes.
Rival
Borussia Mönchengladbach in recent years has not been very visible. She is not a regular in the Champions League, unlike her namesake in Dortmund, Leipzig and Bayer. The stallions that thundered in the 70s (), during the last 32 years, only twice reached the top three teams in Germany. And only three times has he occupied places that allow breaking into the Champions League. 8 years ago, the attempt was a failure: defeat Dynamo Kiev in the fourth qualifying round. New attempt in 2015: direct hit in the group stage, but a killer draw (Man City, Juventus, Sevilla) and a final fourth place. And now, a new attempt. Again, luck was not favorable for Gladbach. However, the results of the initial rounds created an optimistic mood. If only they played the games to the end, if only they weren’t German at all!

The season in the Bundesliga Borussia under the command of Marco Rosa (he came from Salzburg last year) started without success: a pogrom in Dortmund, a draw with Union … But then he accelerated, scored 10 points in four rounds, and in the last weekend they completely beat Leipzig, at the time they were in the lead. It differs in composition stability and quite good implementation. The team infirmary is practically empty, the viral infection overlooks them until now. However, we will consider the staff situation in more detail below.
History
Shakhtar have yet to meet Mönchengladbach-specific Borussia in European competitions. However, he managed to play a lot for other German clubs. And this is the interesting thing: in their fields, the Pitmen first won two victories (over Dynamo Berlin and Eintracht Frankfurt, in the USSR), then they were defeated (against Dortmund in 2001), after which … They tied six times in a row! Until the second leg with Wolfsburg in August this year.

It is also worth noting that it is not the most positive for the Ukrainian series, which takes place for the third season. Shakhtar have not been able to win the Champions League at home for seven games! Also, the sequence is strict: N, P, N, P, N, P, N … And the Pitmen suffered all the losses in this segment with a score of 0: 3.
Miner
The miners unexpectedly stalled in the championship – there are too many draws and as a result, Classic is four eyes behind the main competitor! It makes sense, among other factors, to complain about the coronavirus crisis: for the last month, Castro was unable to count on the mass of the main players. However, these problems did not prevent their players from performing very well in the early rounds of the Champions League. Especially memorable is the extravagance of the first half in Madrid …
One way or another, the Pitmen are almost fully prepared for the third round of the main Eurotournament. In fact, we will consider the situation with the lineups at this time.
Personal
Almost all the important artists of the Donetsk club made it out of quarantine. The application for the 3rd round match contains Junior moraes – the long-awaited forward profile. But no Dentine, who played this role in previous matches: the Brazilian was injured at the beginning of the fight against Inter. The company in the infirmary does Ismaili Y Linnet… Full participation in question Khocholavy Y Kovalenko (to damage).
As for Borussia M, here the Swiss collection has been traumatized for a long time Zechariah… But this loss is already difficult to consider critical, because the Germans Kramer Y Neuhaus they do well in the support zone. Quarantine defender Bayer, but this person is definitely not about the base. That’s it! Who should you pay close attention to? Playmaker Hoffmann, the assistant in chief of the team. As well as forward Petition Y Thuram – two French (the second of them is the son of that same Lilian) interact efficiently and effectively in the attack. Specifically, they scored both goals against Inter.
Judge
