Mainz vs Borussia Monchengladbach Prediction and Betting Tips | October 25th 2024

Mainz and Borussia Monchengladbach get round eight of the German Bundesliga underway when they lock horns at Mewa Arena on Friday. Gerardo Seoane’s men will head into the weekend looking to get one over the hosts, having failed to win the last seven meetings between the two teams.

Mainz’s poor early-season form continued at the weekend when they fell to a 2-0 home defeat against RB Leipzig. Bo Henriksen’s side have now failed to win six of their last eight games across all competitions, losing four and claiming two draws since kicking off the campaign with a 3-1 victory over Wehen Wiesbaden in the DFB Pokal on August 16.

However, Mainz will be backing themselves to find their feet this weekend as they take on an opposing side who have failed to win their last seven clashes since February 2021.

Borussia Monchengladbach, meanwhile, continued their surge into the top half of the table as they picked up a hard-fought 3-2 victory over Heidenheim last Saturday.

Seoane’s men have won three of their last four matches across all competitions, with a 2-1 defeat against Augsburg on October 4 being the exception.

With nine points from seven matches, Monchengladbach are currently 11th in the Bundesliga table, one point and one place above Friday’s hosts.
