Mainz vs Borussia Monchengladbach prediction
It was a miserable Sunday for Mainz in the Black Forest. Not only did they collapse to a 4-0 loss, they also had Paul Nebel sent off in the process, who will now miss this next game as a consequence. The defeat kept Mainz rooted at the bottom of the table with just six points to their name and only one win in 12 rounds of Bundesliga fixtures.
Borussia Monchengladbach meanwhile, having moved away from the relegation places are now putting themselves in a position to kick on and challenge those above them with ten points from the last 12 available to them. Whilst a 0-0 draw with RB Leipzig last time out may have ended a three-game winning streak in the Bundesliga, it was a result to be very pleased about against the of league’s heavy hitters.
Despite being at home and against a team blighted with injuries, Mainz’s current slump cannot be ignored and Borussia Monchengladbach boasts the depth to take advantage. Consider making the move to back an away victory via the draw no bet market for extra security.
