Mainz vs Borussia Monchengladbach Prediction and Betting Tips | February 24th 2023

In a mid-table Bundesliga clash, ninth-placed Mainz will entertain eighth-placed Borussia Monchengladbach at the Mewa Arena in the Bundesliga on Friday.

The hosts made it two wins in a row last Sunday as they recorded a hard-fought 3-2 away win over Bayer Leverkusen. They have 29 points to their name from 21 games and are trailing the visitors on goal difference alone.

Borussia Monchengladbach returned to winning ways after two games as they defeated league leaders Bayern Munich 3-2 at home. Dayot Upamecano was sent off in the eighth minute, which helped Monchengladbach's cause. Lars Stindl, Jonas Hofmann, and Marcus Thuram were on the scoresheet as Monchengladbach moved into the upper half of the league table.

Die Nullfรผnfer are unbeaten in their last four meetings against the visitors and emerged victorious in the reverse fixture in September. They are winless in their last six Bundesliga meetings at home against the visitors, so a win does not look like a likely outcome but they might be able to salvage a point.

Die Fohlen have struggled in their travels this term, recording just one win. They have lost four of their last five away games. Interestingly, they have picked up wins in three of their last four away games at Friday's venue and are likely to avoid a defeat.

Considering Monchengladbach's struggles in their travels and Mainz's poor record against them at home in recent games, a low-scoring draw might ensue.

Prediction: Mainz 1-1 Borussia Monchengladbach
