Borussia Moenchengladbach are the biggest surprise package this season as they sit at the top of Group B. In a group that consists of giant European giants like Real Madrid and Inter Milan, Borussia Moenchengladbach have managed to accumulate five points thanks to the draws against Real Madrid and Inter Milan.

On the other hand, Shakhtar Donetsk, who started their European campaign with a blast by defeating Real Madrid, have failed to capitalize on the opportunities coming their way. The Ukrainian giants who stunned Real Madrid will have to be back at their very best if they wish to snatch any points from this fixture.
