Our Prediction
While Mainz’s overall league form is concerning, their historical performance against Borussia Mönchengladbach is a significant factor. Gladbach has struggled to assert dominance in this fixture, often conceding goals even when in better form. Given the high frequency of both teams scoring in their head-to-head encounters (9 out of the last 11 games), this trend looks set to continue despite Mainz’s struggles this season. Both teams have shown vulnerabilities defensively, conceding 19 goals each, which further strengthens this prediction.
