Our Prediction for the Match Mainz vs Borussia Mönchengladbach
The team from "MEWA Arena" stayed among the leaders for a long time last season. However, they eventually finished sixth with 52 points. This sent the Germans to the Conference League, where they passed Rosenborg in the qualifiers and had several wins in the main round. But they lost to Universitatea Craiova 0-1. Domestically, things were disastrous. They were already knocked out of the cup after losing to Stuttgart, and in the Bundesliga, their only win was over Augsburg, back in September. They even suffered a 0-4 defeat to Freiburg.
The club from Mönchengladbach finished with 45 points in 2024/2025, closing the top 10. But Seoane was dismissed after a winless start to the new season. Fortunately, his replacement, Polanski, achieved such results that by November he shed the "interim" tag and became the full-time head coach. Only against RB Leipzig did they play to a goalless draw. However, they surprisingly lost 1-2 to St. Pauli in the cup.
Bo Henriksen's side scores an average of 0.92 goals per match and concedes 1.92. The visitors average 1.33 goals scored and concede 1.58 per match.
