FSV Mainz 05 vs Borussia Monchengladbach Predictions

• Under 2.5 goals has landed in five of these sides’ combined home and away games respectively.
• Under 2.5 goals has landed in four of the last six meetings between these sides.
• 1-1 has been the final scoreline in three of the last six meetings between Mainz and Borussia Monchengladbach.

Mainz search for first home win of the season

These two sides are separated by just a point after seven Bundesliga gameweeks and another tight affair is expected when Borussia Monchengladbach make the trip to Mainz on Friday.

Mainz have managed to win two of their last four league games, but they have been shocking in front of their own fans this term, picking up just one point from a possible 12 and only scoring twice.

Similarly, two of Borussia Monchengladbach’s three league wins this season have come on their own patch, leaving them with three points from three games on their travels.

They have only scored three goals in this trio of games, and that points towards a low-scoring tie on Friday. Under 2.5 goals has landed in three of Mainz’s four home games and two of Monchengladbach’s three away days, while there has been fewer than three goals in four of the last six meetings between these sides.

Mainz’s only home point of the season came via a 1-1 scoreline, and that has been the final scoreline in three of the last six meetings between these sides, so it looks a solid option for our correct score prediction.
