On Thursday, starting at 20:00 pm, the match Monchengladbach – AS Roma will be played within the Europa League group stage, Group J, 2019/2020 edition. In the tour, the German team equalized in the 95th minute by a penalty converted by Stindl, canceling Zaniolo’s success, from the first half. Monchengladbach was the best team in Rome, but remains with 2 points after the first 3 rounds, unlike the Italians, who lead group J, with 5 points.
Monchengladbach is the surprising leader of the Bundesliga, but the leader in the Europa League! “Manjii” also pay tribute to the humiliation with Wolfsberger, at the previous match on Borussia-Park, 0-4. Coach Marco Rose excelled in this competition with Salzburg, but he needs the first European success with Monchengladbach. In contrast, AS Roma occupies the first position in the group, with 5 points, one more over Basaksehir and Wolfsberger. Next a very balanced group, where a victory can change the course of the qualification. The Italians trained by the Portuguese Paulo Fonseca are without a victory of 4 matches played in Germany, and the match in Gladbach is difficult to announce. The hosts will try to continue the good game in the round, to achieve the success that takes them closer to qualifying in the next phase. There are important absences in both formations, but numerous groups make possible a very competitive first 11. Also, Monchengladbach has lost only one match of the last 5 on their own field with Italian opponents, drawing 4 times!
