Eberl confident ahead of Juventus clash – 'We are due our first win'

Max Eberl is not interested with looking at the table, the sporting director at Borussia Mönchengladbach has made his own observations. "We have scored our first goal, and got our first point. The logical outcome is that we now get our first win," said Eberl ahead of the Champions League match against Italian record champions Juventus tonight (20:45 CET).

"We can really frustrate them." Juventus without Khedira

The Borussia players will have to play a slightly more attacking game than they did in the first match two weeks ago, where they drew 0-0. Schubert’s team had the Italian champions at arm’s length for the 90 minutes, but they did not manage to create a single chance for themselves. "If we are a bit more brave going forward, then we can frustrate Juve," said deputy captain Xhaka.

A win against Juventus, who are without midfielder Sami Khedira through injury, may act as the spark to push on in Europe. After tonight’s match against the Old Lady (7 points), they face FC Sevilla (3) at home, before travelling to Manchester City (6).

"It is perfect timing for a result like this. They know that we have won 6 times in a row in the league, and that it will be difficult to play against us," said Havard Nordtveit.

After their worst start to a Serie A campaign in 46 years, Juventus have found their form again somewhat, defeating FC Torino 2-1 in the derby. They now find themselves in tenth, nine points behind Fiorentina in first.

"There have been a couple of personnel changes. We have found our rhythm, even though we still need a bit of time. We have to keep looking ahead and keep going," said the Ex Wolfsburg player Andrea Barzagli ahead of the match in Borussia-Park, which will be attended by 46,217 people.
