MONCHENGLADBACH, Germany (Interstat) — Borussia Monchengladbach will host Standard Liege on Thursday in a global football matchup between clubs looking to build momentum from uneven starts across all competitions. Borussia Monchengladbach enters at 2-3-2, while Standard Liege is 2-2-1.

Standard Liege’s latest result was a 3-0 win against Beveren. Dennis Eckert was the standout performer, scoring three goals in 77 minutes. Adnane Abid added two assists in 88 minutes, and goalkeeper Matthieu Epolo played the full 90 minutes.
