Betting on Mainz
Mainz is comfortable in the middle of the Bundesliga standings and does not give up getting closer to the European places despite being some way off them. Thanks to two consecutive victories and three in the last four rounds, Bo Svensson’s team is in ninth place with 28 points, the same number as their opponents and nine points behind Eintracht Frankfurt in the Conference League places.
Mainz’s improved performance goes hand in hand with a good offensive output. They have scored at least three goals in three of their last four matches, a record they only managed once in their first 17 games. As for their home performance, Mainz is trying to improve with just one defeat in its last four matches. However, the local team remains the fifth-worst club in the Bundesliga in this condition, with 13 points out of a possible 30.
Possible lineup (3-4-1-2): Finn Dahmen; Andreas Hanche-Olsen, Stefan Bell, Edimilson Fernandes; Danny da Costa, Leandro Barreiro, Dominik Kohr, Anthony Caci; Ludovic Ajorque; Karim Onisiwo, Lee Jae-Sung.
Betting on Monchengladbach
Mönchengladbach is also comfortable in the Bundesliga’s mid-table and should come into the game with extra motivation after their big win last matchday against Bayern Munich. The Colts are in eighth place in the standings with 29 points, nine points behind Eintracht Frankfurt, who occupy the Conference League last qualification place.
Daniel Farke’s team could have been in a better position were it not for several inconsistent performances in the last few matchdays. Some examples of this are that in their last five games they won two by scoring at least three goals, drew 0-0 against the bottom team in the league and were beaten 4-1 by the penultimate team in the standings.
Another drawback for Gladbach has been their poor away form, as they have taken only seven points out of a possible 30 and have lost four of their last five away games.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Jonas Omlin, Stefan Lainer, Ko Itakura, Nico Elvedi, Ramy Bensebaini, Christoph Kramer, Kouadio Koné, Jonas Hofmann, Hannes Wolf, Lars Stindl, Alassane Plea.
JefeBet Prediction
If there is one thing that has been present in the matches of both clubs in the current Bundesliga season, it has been excitement. Both Mainz and Mönchengladbach have only finished goalless in four home league games, while the hosts have scored at least once in seven matches. What’s more, in six of the last seven head-to-head meetings, both teams have scored.
Prediction: Both teams score (MAI 2 – MON 2).
