Manchester City vs Mochengladbach preview:
Manchester City will be eyeing a place in the Champions League quarterfinals when they face Borussia Monchengladbach on Tuesday night.
The sky Blues have all the advantage heading into this encounter, having registered a 2-0 win in the reverse fixture that served as the away game. It means they just have to avoid conceding three goals in order to advance through to the next round, joining the likes of Bayern Munich, PSG and Borussia Dortmund.
As for their opponents, a potential comeback opportunity at the Puskas Arena serves as the real element of hope in a season that has turned upside down following the announcement of coach Marco Rose’s departure to Borussia Dortmund next season.
Winless in their last eight competitive matches, the Foals have dropped to tenth in the Bundesliga and were knocked out of the DFB Pokal by Dortmund, of all clubs. As such, they have all the incentive in the world to come out all guns blazing in the pursuit of achieving the seemingly impossible this midweek.

Pep Guardiola – a three-time Bundesliga winner during his time in charge of Bayern Munich – has a 44.4 percent win ratio in meetings with Gladbach. It’s his worst return against any of the 26 German clubs he’s faced as a coach (W4 D3 L2).

Monchengladbach have never previously won away to an English club in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League (D1 L3), while they have conceded eight goals in the last two trips – 2-4 in 2015/16 and 0-4 in 2016/17, both against Manchester City.

Sergio Aguero
Aguero’s movements, combined with his ability to sniff goalscoring chances should definitely cause problems for the Gladbach backline, although the former Atleti forward might have to devise a plan to outfox the likes of Ginter and Elvedi in one-on-one duels, in which they are usually very strong.
Nevertheless, Aguero still remains a favourite to score at least one goal, provided he is given the start ahead of Gabriel by Guardiola tonight.

Real Madrid vs Atalanta preview:
Real Madrid will be aiming to book their place in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals when they lock horns with Atalanta BC on Tuesday night.
Real Madrid head into the game with a slender 1-0 advantage from the first leg courtesy of a Ferland Mendy strike. Since that victory though, Zinedine Zidane’s side have looked dodgy, being held to 1-1 draws by Real Sociedad and Atletico Madrid and just about managing to win over strugglers Elche in La Liga last time out.
Atalanta, meanwhile, are in better shape coming into Tuesday’s clash. Gian Piero Gasperini’s men have won three of their four games since losing to Real Madrid, most recently beating Spezia 3-1 in Serie A. In the process, they have scored 10 goals while letting in just three and must carry that momentum forward to stand a chance of making a comeback.
It promises to be an intriguing clash on Tuesday night with Atalanta well within a shout of making it through despite Real Madrid’s narrow advantage.
