B. Monchengladbach VS Istanbul Buyuksehir
Three Group J participants still have the chance to qualify for the knockout phase in the sixth week of the Europa League. Two of them will meet at Borussia Park when Borussia Monchengladbach entertain Istanbul Basaksehir.
The host travels to the Wolfsberger AC headquarters the previous week, and wins with Lars Stindl’s single goal (60 ‘). This result is very crucial because it helps them keep the top with a notch of 8 digits, winning leading just AS Roma under it and one point Istanbul Basaksehir ranked 3. This condition occurs after Istanbul Basaksehir defeated AS Roma with a score of 0-3 in the same week.
Borussia Monchengladbach returned to the Bundesliga stage after the match, and managed to complete two of his duties with victories over Freiburg (4-2) and Bayern Munich (2-1). Meanwhile, Istanbul Basaksehir meets Antalyaspor (2-0) and Denizlispor (1-1) in the Turkish Super League and Hekimoglu Trabzon (0-1) in the fifth round of the Turkish Cup. So, the two camps are equally invincible after appearing in Europe.
However, Borussia Monchengladbach still has the upper hand because it occupies a better position in Group J, especially this time acting as the host. It’s also worth noting that the two Bundesliga parties above are all at Borussia Park, extending the winning line to six successive matches there.
