Mainz vs Borussia Monchengladbach: Preview and Predictions

Mainz vs Borussia Monchengladbach
German Bundesliga
Date: Saturday, 29th April 2017
Kick off at 14:30 UK/ 15:30 CET
Venue: OPEL ARENA.

Mainz escaped the danger zone at least for a while by picking up four points from two matches with Hertha BSC and Bayern Munich.

Martin Schmidt will definitely want to see this positive run being extended in the 31st round match with Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday afternoon.

Mainz 05

Mainz were on a dismal streak of five consecutive losses before they finally managed to see off Hertha BSC 1-0 on the home pitch two weeks ago.

They took advantage of Bayern’s dismal period to grab a massive point from Allianz Arena last weekend.

Borussia Monchengladbach

Gladbach have generally had a rollercoaster season full of ups and downs. The team led by Dieter Hecking has been horrendous at the back over the last couple of weeks.

Borussia conceded as many as eight goals in back-to-back losses to Hoffenheim and Dortmund.

Hecking’s men failed to make it to final of DFB Pokal after losing the semi-final tie with Eintracht Frankfurt after penalties on Tuesday evening.

Mainz vs Borussia Monchengladbach: Head to head

The hosts have the opportunity to make it all square at ten wins for each of the teams in their head to head stats.

Borussia came out victorious from the clash in the first part of the season thanks to Andreas Christensen whose goal made the difference in mid-December last year.

Mainz vs Borussia Monchengladbach: Prediction

This will be a nice chance for the hosts to make a major step towards securing the survival in the elite.

Gladbach have been horrific at the back lately, the hosts will have a much greater imperative, and we simply have to take the 6/5 odds offered on the home win in this one.
