The German side escaped with a 1-1 draw from the Stadio Olimpico in the clubs' first meeting on Matchday 3 thanks to an added-time Lars Stindl penalty, having trailed since Nicolò Zaniolo's 32nd-minute opener. • Mönchengladbach also struck late to salvage a 1-1 draw against İstanbul Başakşehir on Matchday 2 following a shock opening-night 0-4 defeat at home to Austrian group stage debutants Wolfsberg. Roma, conversely, made a dynamic start to the section, overpowering the Turkish side 4-0 at home before drawing 1-1 in Austria. Previous meetings • Mönchengladbach have won more games than they have lost against Italian sides (W5 D8 L4), but five of those draws have come in the eight fixtures in Germany. The last of those brought their solitary home defeat – 0-1 against Fiorentina in the first leg of the 2016/17 UEFA Europa League round of 32, a tie Gladbach would win in spectacular style when a Stindl hat-trick earned them a 4-2 second-leg success in Florence. The Foals have not beaten an Italian side at home, however, since October 1975 – a winless run stretching to five matches. • This is Roma's 28th fixture against German opposition, ten of their 13 matches in Germany having ended in defeat (W2 D1).
