Mainz vs B. Monchengladbach prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-12-04 19:30.
[p]Rock-bottom Mainz host an in-form Borussia Mönchengladbach who are one of just three sides to have collected ten points from their last four Bundesliga games.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Mainz find themselves at the foot of the Bundesliga for the first time since matchday nine in 2023/24 and now looking for a new manager following Bo Henriksen’s sacking on Wednesday, which came about due to their current eight-game winless run in the division (D2, L6). A 4-0 loss at Freiburg last weekend was the third time this season that Die Nullfünfer have conceded that many goals, while they are one of just two sides yet to achieve a German top-flight clean sheet in that time. Winless at home this term in league action (D2, L4), they did at least collect those two points though from their last two encounters on their own turf against top-half teams Hoffenheim and Werder Bremen.[/p]
[p]Mönchengladbach may have seen their three-game Bundesliga winning run end last weekend following a 0-0 draw against high-flying RB Leipzig (W3, D1), but it was their second consecutive clean sheet. With that unbeaten streak, they have climbed from bottom of the table after a winless start to 12th place. Two of those three victories have come away from home against sides sitting in the bottom three, while they have collected ten of their 13 points this season against current lower-half teams. November 2024 marks the last time that they went five top-flight matches without defeat, a sequence that included a draw in last term’s corresponding H2H.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Mainz are unbeaten in the last nine H2Hs (W4, D5), but Gladbach have recorded three of their last four such wins away from home. [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Mainz have failed to score in three of their four Bundesliga home defeats this season and in a joint league-high six games overall this term. [/p]

[p]A league-high six of Gladbach’s Bundesliga games this season stood level at half-time (HT: W3, L3). [/p]
[p]Gladbach are winless in their last seven Friday night Bundesliga games (D3, L4).[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
