Borussia Monchengladbach preview: Struggling Gladbach

Borussia Monchengladbach have once again underwhelmed this season as they begin the 30th match day of the Bundesliga campaign sitting in the bottom-half of the table and now dragged towards the relegation battle.

The hosts succumbed to a 1-0 loss to RB Leipzig in their most recent outing at the Red Bull Arena last weekend due to an 80th minute winner scored by former Leganes winger Yan Diomande, pushing them further into trouble. 

Mainz preview: Woeful midweek

In their quarter-final tie against Strasbourg in the UEFA Europa Conference League, Mainz took a 2-0 lead to Alsace in France but succumbed to a 4-0 hammering in the second-leg to leave them bereft as they head to Borussia-Park this weekend.

Since the appointment of Urs Fischer mid-way through the campaign, Mainz have been generally very impressive but they are set to coast towards the end of the campaign, albeit European qualification is again not mathematically impossible.

Borussia Monchengladbach vs Mainz prediction

With German performances in Europe, there is a possibility that eighth will be enough for Europe once again but Mainz are struggling to keep touch with Freiburg after a very poor first-half to the season. Despite being knocked down a peg on Thursday night, they will be expected to react and defeat a Gladbach side that now begin the weekend sitting just five points above third-from-bottom and the relegation playoff place.
