Mainz take on the visitors Borussia Monchengladbach in the round 8 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Friday, October 25th at Mewa Arena (Mainz).
Mainz changed their coach last season, putting their faith in another Dane, Bo Henriksen. Although there wasn’t a breakthrough, they managed to recover from the slump of last autumn, finishing in 13th place. Bochum, who ended up in the relegation playoff, was only two points behind, with 35 compared to Mainz's 33. Not much has changed this season. After winning in the cup against Wehen, Mainz started the league with two draws, alternating between home defeats and away victories, with the team scoring 3 goals on the road. However, in the last round against RB Leipzig, they struggled and lost 2-0, failing to score.

Borussia Mönchengladbach still has little to be proud of. The "Foals" were in the Champions League playoffs not long ago, back under Marco Rose. But since then, they haven’t found a coach with the same talent. Last season, under Gerardo Seoane, instead of making progress, they collected just 34 points, finishing 14th, dangerously close to the relegation zone. Remarkably, despite these results, Seoane remained in charge. So far, there hasn’t been much improvement this season. They won against Erzgebirge in the cup, as well as Bochum and Union in the Bundesliga, but lost the other matches. Their performance against Heidenheim wasn’t perfect either, but they managed a bright and, most importantly, victorious 3-2 finish.
Mainz is unbeaten in their last seven meetings against Borussia. However, both encounters last season ended in high-scoring draws.Mainz are seen as favorites at home, but they haven’t been entirely consistent, and Borussia’s recent win might give them a boost. A bet on "Over 2.5 goals" seems like a solid choice.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
