Mainz vs Borussia Monchengladbach Prediction and Betting Tips | March 2nd 2024
Mainz will be looking to move out of the automatic relegation places when they play host to Borussia Monchengladbach in round 24 of the German Bundesliga on Saturday.
Having failed to win the last six meetings between the sides, Gerardo Seoane’s men journey to Mewa Arena seeking to get one over the hosts and pick up their first road victory of the year.
Mainz were sent crashing back down to earth last Friday when they fell to a 2-1 loss against title-chasing Bayer Leverkusen at the Bay Arena.
This followed a hard-earned 1-0 victory over 10-man Augsburg on February 17 which saw their five-game winless run come to an end.
With 15 points from 17 matches, Mainz are currently 17th in the Bundesliga table, 10 points adrift of 15th-placed Bochum just outside the relegation zone.
Elsewhere, Borussia Monchengladbach returned to winning ways in style as they thrashed Bochum 5-2 at Borussia Park last Saturday.
Prior to that, Seoane’s side were on a five-game winless run, losing three and picking up two draws since the second week of January.
With 25 points from 23 matches, Monchengladbach are currently 17th in the league table, level on points with Wolfsburg and Union Berlin.
