Mainz take on the visitors Borussia Monchengladbach in the round 22 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, February 24th at Mewa Arena (Mainz).
In the previous round, Mainz won in Leverkusen 3-2. Of course, not without luck, but the fact remains. In the round before, Bo Svensson's team defeated Augsburg 3-1 at home. And before that, they crushed Bochum 5-2 in a home game. Mainz's attack is in good shape. In the 21 rounds of the current season of the Bundesliga, they left the field without disappointing their opponent only four times. I think there is no doubt that the hosts will score in this match. But mid-table teams in Germany don't know how to defend well, and that won't change. Therefore, with a high probability, Mainz will concede at least once in this match.

Borussia also defeated a strong opponent in the previous round, also with a score of 3-2. The current champion of the country, by the way! Yes, Upamecano's dismissal at the very beginning of the game broke Bayern's spirit. But as they say, this is not a problem for the Foals. Hofmann looked great, scoring a goal and two assists. Turam finally scored, and Stindl has already scored four times in the last six rounds. Borussia's attack is also in good shape. But their defense is certainly a problem. Even a tired Bayern, who played against Paris, managed to score twice against them with only ten men. So, in Mainz, the "Foals" will most likely concede as well.
We are waiting for a match between two teams of equal strength, neighbors in the table, both equally aiming to qualify for the European cups. I won't make a prediction on the winner, but waiting for goals from both sides seems like a logical decision. In the current season, both teams score a lot - 33 and 38 goals in 21 rounds. But they don't know how to play reliably in defense: the hosts have conceded 34 goals, and the visitors – 35. In three of the four previous Bundesliga matches involving Borussia, the bet on "Over" was comfortably successful. And Mainz has been exchanging goals with their opponents for seven rounds in a row. If we look at the last head-to-head matches, this bet played out in four out of five cases. I see no reason why we shouldn't expect an exciting attacking game from Mainz and Borussia again this time!
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
