Mainz to Win
Mainz upset the odds to record a fine 3-2 triumph at Bayer Leverkusen in their last assignment, just a week after they had put another three goals past Augsburg. Those successive wins pushed Mainz up to 9th spot in the Bundesliga, just one place behind Gladbach ahead of the teams’ meeting on Friday. Die Fohlen shocked Bayern Munich at the weekend, however, their results on the road have been dismal and following a haul of just one victory from ten matches on their travels, our first Mainz vs Monchengladbach prediction recommends opposing them again.
Over 2.5 Goals
Mainz’s matches have been chock-full of excitement since the campaign’s resumption in Germany, averaging a whopping 4.0 goals per 90 minutes across seven games during that period overall. Similarly, three of Monchengladbach’s last four Bundesliga fixtures featured over 2.5 goals and we expect more thrills and spills to be produced when Die Fohlen head to Mainz on Friday evening. With that in mind, we recommend another stake on over 2.5 goals at the MEWA Arena.

Mainz
Jonathan Burkhardt is listed as injured for Mainz, though they have few personnel issues beyond their stricken striker. Mainz rode their luck at times in their win at Bayer Leverkusen last weekend and they even needed keeper Finn Dahmen to save a 23rd-minute penalty before netting a second-half spot kick of their own in what was a crazy game at the BayArena.
Predicted Lineup for Mainz: Dahmen – Hanche-Olsen, Bell, Fernandes – da Costa, Barreiro, Stach, Caci – Ajorque, Jae-Sung, Onisiwo
Monchengladbach
Julian Weigl and Luca Netz are both listed as injured for Gladbach at present. Die Fohlen enjoyed a superb 3-2 win over champions Bayern Munich in their last outing, though they did have a one-man advantage for the majority of the game after the visitor's Dayot Upamecano was sent off after just eight minutes.
Predicted Lineup for Monchengladbach: Omlin – Lainer, Itakura, Elvedi, Bansebaini – Kramer, Kone – Hofmann, Stindl, Wolf – Plea
Player to Watch – Jonas Hofmann
Jonas Hofmann enjoyed a stellar performance in Gladbach’s 3-2 win over Bayern Munich at the weekend, scoring one and creating the other two of his team’s goals in their stunning victory. The 30-year-old has now lodged 15 goal contributions in just 18 starts in the Bundesliga in 2022/23.
