Mainz 05 vs Borussia M’gladbachPreview

Mainz 05

Mainz’s current season has been inconsistent. They sit 12th in the table, and victories alternate with defeats, but after a rough beginning, the team has gradually stabilized.

The team’s poor defensive performance is compensated by Robin Zentner’s excellent goalkeeping. According to the average rating per match, Zentner is the best player in the team. However, Mainz still concede a lot – 1.7 goals per game.

Interestingly, Mainz tend to perform better in away matches than at home, but injuries and fatigue have caused long-term concerns for the squad.

Striker Karim Onisiwo is set to miss the next match due to injury, while defensive midfielder Dominik Kohr returns to the lineup after serving a suspension. Andreas Hanche-Olsen is recovering from a finger injury and will rejoin the starting lineup shortly.

Borussia M’gladbach

Gladbach are struggling in the Bundesliga this season. They occupy 11th place in the standings with a negative goal difference of 10-12. The quality of their gameplay has drawn considerable criticism, particularly regarding their defensive issues.

In the last round, they managed to win against Heidenheim (3-2), but it was a hard-fought victory. Despite a high xG indicator of 3.61, the team’s overall performance was underwhelming, especially in defence. However, Tim Kleindienst’s brace proved to be the decisive factor in sealing the win.

However, Gladbach are grappling with significant injury concerns. Key players like Nathan Ngoumou are sidelined, Yvandro Borges has yet to feature this season, and defender Nico Elvedi is also unavailable.

Mainz 05 vs Borussia M’gladbach Prediction

Pick: Draw

Odds: 3.80 (22Bet)

Score prediction: Mainz 05 1-1 Borussia M’gladbach

Mainz are weak at home this campaign, conceding 1.7 goals per game despite the good performance of Robin Zentner. Borussia, on the other hand, are experiencing problems in defence due to injuries to key defenders and their goalkeeper.

We think that the match will be a cautious affair from both sides. We will likely see a tough game, frequent fouls, and few clear-cut chances. Additionally, recent head-to-head encounters between the two teams have resulted in draws, with 1-1 and 2-2 scorelines in the last two meetings.

We think neither side will take risks in this encounter. Both teams are not in the best form and have serious injury problems. Our pick for this game is a draw.

Mainz 05 vs Borussia M’gladbach Prediction, Betting Tip

Pick: Both Teams to Score

Odds: 1.57 (22Bet)

Borussia M’gladbach have significant issues in the defence, having lost several key players such as Luca Netz and Nico Elvedi. This season, their defensive line is especially vulnerable to attacks, allowing too many errors.

Nevertheless, both teams are capable of creating scoring chances. Mainz are active in the attack, and the visitors, despite their inconsistent form, have Tim Kleindienst in their squad, who scored a brace in their last game.

Given the likely nature of the game, the teams will wait for their opponent’s mistakes and build their flow on counterattacks. Our second pick for this match is both teams to score.
