RM vs MOB Dream11 Team Prediction: The Champions League Group B heats up with Real Madrid welcoming Borussia Monchengladbach to the Alfredo Di Stefano Stadium. In a rather difficult group, Monchengladbach has found themselves on top of the table but only have a point’s lead over the Real Madrid who are 3rd, level on points with Shakhtar Donetsk. The margins to this game are so fine that all teams find themselves in a must-win situation, although a draw should be enough to secure promotion to the next round for Monchengladbach. Real Madrid is in a very uncharacteristic run of form with 5 losses already across all competitions. They are currently 3rd in the Champions League and 4th in the La Liga, 6 points off the top. Monchengladbach, on the other hand, has only lost 3 games this season across all competitions with them coming against Bayer Leverkusen, Borussia Dortmund and Inter Milan. They will be desperate to secure a point and qualify to the much-coveted round of 16 of the Champions League.

Real Madrid vs Borussia Starting XI

A) Real Madrid Team News

Injury Report, Unavailability: Eden Hazard and Federico Valverde are the only confirmed absentees for this game with both suffering injuries.

Doubtful: Zinedine Zidane has no doubtful players for the RM vs MOB Dream 11 Prediction.

Expected changes: Thibaut Courtois will start in goal, with Alvaro Odriozola and Lucas Vazquez eyeing the right-back spot. Sergio Ramos is likely to start ahead of Nacho Fernandez with Raphael Varane at centre-back and Ferland Mendy at left-back. Real Madrid is likely to start with the same midfield consisting of Casemiro, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos. Marco Asensio will be raring to start up-front alongside Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior as Rodrygo’s poor performance against Seville might cost him a spot in the lineup.

Real Madrid Starting XI (probable):
Thibaut Courtois (GK)
Lucas Vazquez
Raphael Varane
Sergio Ramos
Ferland Mendy
Luka Modric
Casemiro
Toni Kroos
Marco Asensio
Karim Benzema
Vinicius Junior

B) Borussia Monchengladbach Team News

Injury Report, Unavailability: Marco Rose has a few more injury concerns with Jonas Hofmann and Remy Bensebaini both out with an injury and Covid-19 respectively. Centre-backs, Tony Jantschke and Nico Elvedi are both out injured.

Doubtful: Gladbach does not have any injury concerns.

Expected changes: Marco Rose played a slightly rotated side against Freiburg with Denis Zakaria playing in defence, Hannes Wolf playing on the left-wing and Breel Embolo leading the line. But Christoph Kramer should play in a make-shift defence. Alassane Plea should return to his preferred number 9 spot despite Breel Embolo scoring against Freiburg. With 4 goal contributions in 5 starts in the Champions League, Marcus Thuram is sure to walk back into the side.

Borussia Starting XI (probable):
Yann Sommer (GK)
Stefan Lainer
Matthias Ginter
Christoph Kramer
Oscar Wendt
Denis Zakaria
Florian Neuhaus
Valentino Lazaro
Lars Stindl
Marcus Thuram
Alassane Plea
