Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Full Time Result – Monchengladbach to Win – 2.30

Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Team Goals – Monchengladbach to Score Over 1.5 Goals – 2.00

Monchengladbach to Win

This match must go down as an opportunity for the hosts to continue on the up. Sure, Mainz won big last time out, but they beat something of a wounded animal in Arminia Bielefeld, while their away form is terribly poor. The visitors have collected an average of just 0.58 points away from home this season, while their travelling form against teams that currently reside in the middle third of the table is far from promising. They’ve lost three out of three against such opposition, scoring one and conceding six in the process. Additionally, while the hosts have a more than respectable average expected goal difference of +0.43 at home, the visitors have an average expected goal difference of -0.29.

Monchengladbach to Score Over 1.5 Goals

Hutter’s men also look a good bet to notch a couple of goals, or rather they look to have a slightly better chance of doing so than odds of 2.00 suggest. Gladbach have scored two or more in each of their last three at home, scoring an average of 1.76 at Borussia Park overall this term. In contrast, Mainz have conceded two or more in three of their last four on the road, as well as in six of their last nine away games.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Monchengladbach vs Mainz

After a period of considerable stagnation, the Monchengladbach back boys have bounced back in recent weeks. First, they ended their three-game winless run with a solid 2-0 win over strugglers Hertha Berlin, before following up with a similarly pleasing two-goal victory over Bochum, who are anything but the easiest team to get the better of. For the first time in a while, Adi Hutter’s men are likely to approach a game full of confidence following not just back-to-back victories but back-to-back clean sheets.

Much as their season has been up and down, Gladbach’s form at home has fluctuated this term, though right now, they’re in the middle of a decent spell at home, losing none of their last three at Borussia Park, two of which they’ve won. They’re also in hot scoring form at home, notching seven goals in their last three outings on home soil.

The hosts aren’t the only ones who come here off the back of some respectable scoring form, no. Mainz rattled in four against Arminia Bielefeld last time out, so they too will arrive with their tails up. Unfortunately, this game isn’t at home, which is where the visitors have tended to do most of their best attacking work this term. In fact, in recent times at least, Mainz have been the very definition of a home team, saving nearly all of their good form for matches at Mewa Arena.

Sunday’s visitors have lost four of their last five on the road, while they’re without a win in seven travelling matches. Only Greuther Furth, who are bottom of the league, have accumulated fewer road points than Bo Svensson’s men, who’ve picked up just seven points from 12 away games, only two of which they’ve won.

Starting Line-ups

Monchengladbach: Sommer, Beyer, Ginter, Bensebaini, Lainer, Neuhaus, Kone, Netz, Embolo, Plea, Thuram.

Mainz: Zentner, Bell, Hack, Niakhate, Widmer, Kohr, Boetius, Martin, Lee, Burkardt, Onisiwo.

Highlighted Player

Lars Stindl

A key figure for Gladbach, captain Lars Stindl recently returned to full fitness, which is a massive boost for Adi Hutter. The midfielder/forward has only scored twice this term, but he’s chipped in with four assists, while he averages an encouraging 0.57 expected goals and assists combined per 90 minutes.
