Real Madrid host Borussia Monchengladbach in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. The La Liga champions have been inconsistent this season, can they get it done when it matters most?

Real Madrid Form

Real Madrid have been very inconsistent this season. They drew 1-1 at Villarreal in La Liga before an important 2-0 win at Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League.

Zinedine Zidane's side lost 2-1 at home against Deportivo Alaves. Despite having 68% possession and 20-11 shots, Los Blancos had 1.65-2.35 expected goals and deserved defeat.

Real Madrid then lost 2-0 at Shakhtar Donetsk after having 58% possession and 15-7 shots. It means they can’t afford to slip up in their final group stage match.

Real’s last match was a 1-0 win at Sevilla on Saturday. They took the lead through a 55th minute own goal but performed well, creating 1.70 expected goals and allowing just 0.53.

Real Madrid Team News

Captain and centre-back Sergio Ramos could return for this crunch clash.

Right-back is getting better for Los Blancos with Dani Carvajal set to return to the starting side and Alvaro Odriozola getting back to full fitness.

Midfielder Federico Valverde and winger Eden Hazard remain injured.

Borussia Monchengladbach Form

Borussia Monchengladbach won two straight matches at home in convincing fashion. They beat Shakhtar Donetsk 4-0 in the Champions League and Schalke 4-1 in the Bundesliga.

Marco Rose’s side had a tough match against Inter Milan at Borussia Park, coming away with a 3-2 defeat. Alassane Plea equalised in the 46th minute and made it 3-2 in the 75th but they couldn’t find an equaliser.

Borussia Monchengladbach’s last match was a 2-2 draw at Freiburg. Breel Embolo and Plea were on target but defensively they were wide open with a makeshift defence, allowing the hosts 4.02 expected goals.

Borussia Monchengladbach Team News
