Mainz 05 vs Borussia Moenchengladbach Prediction

Mainz 05 Form

A single point is all Mainz 05 can show for their efforts in the past three matches. They managed a 1-1 draw with Hoffenheim, before getting trounced 1-0 against Universitatea Craiova while Freiburg won 4-0. Mainz 05 are without a win in their last six Bundesliga matches on home soil, which produced a record of two draws and four defeats, in which they conceded ten and scored five goals.

Mainz 05 entered the season hunting for a title, however they find themselves far off track at this stage.

Borussia Moenchengladbach Form

In their previous three matches, Borussia Moenchengladbach won 0-3 against FC Heidenheim, drew 0-0 with RB Leipzig before losing 1-2 against St. Pauli. In their last six away matches in the Bundesliga, Borussia Moenchengladbach won twice, while also recording one draw. They endured three defeats in this run, with a scoreline from these matches saying seven goals conceded and nine scored.

They had their sights set on gold, but Borussia Moenchengladbach could soon be forced to readjust the target to qualifying for Europe.

Though favourites for the win, we are uncertain the current form of Mainz 05 backs this claim. We believe there is good value in Borussia Moenchengladbach, perhaps with the backing of the draw.

Borussia Moenchengladbach recorded two wins from their last three games against teams placed in the bottom six and collected seven points. They scored seven goals while conceding zero. Mainz 05 have so far been able to win just once after 12 Bundesliga games played, in stead showing off three draws and eight defeats. Borussia Moenchengladbach have a record of three wins, four draws and five defeats in the Bundesliga.
