Borussia Monchengladbach vs Roma Predictions

In a season which has seen the Bundesliga title race open up, Borussia Monchengladbach don’t need the distraction of the Europa League. The current German league leaders are aiming to stay out in front domestically, but will that pull their focus away from their clash with Roma on Thursday night? It’s a real concern with Roma heading here in form.

Gladbach may be leading the way domestically, but they are bottom of the pile in Europe. They head into this clash with just two points to their name in the Europa League, leaving them three short of leaders Roma. That’s left us with a bottom against top clash here, which is potentially huge for their qualification push.

Roma have a solid European record of late, so their form so far is no surprise. The visitors were semi-finalists in the Champions League in 2018 and made the last-16 earlier this year. They have some big European results behind them, giving experience to a young Giallorossi side packed with potential.

Roma come here with some impressive away form backing them up. The visitors last lost on the road back in March, while they have three wins in their last five trips going into this one. Their latest away game could have been their best yet, with a 10-man Roma securing a 4-0 win at Udinese.

Roma have won their last three overall, while they have scored six times and conceded just twice in an unbeaten three-game stretch in this group. Meanwhile, Gladbach have won two of their last five, slipping up in other competitions while continuing to compete in the Bundesliga.

With Roma looking strong on their travels, we are backing them to get something out of this clash. Gladbach have bigger fish to fry as it stands, while their lack of wins in this competition is a major concern. The hosts have failed to win in four here, while they have only one victory in nine Europa League games; so we’re backing Roma Double Chance.

On top of backing Roma to pull off a result here, we’re going with another 1-1 draw as our correct score prediction. Both sides have seen that scoreline in their last two outings in this group, while results between the teams in Group J have mostly been close. With Roma thriving on the road we can see them pulling off a result here, so a 1-1 draw is our second tip.
