Mainz accepts Borussia M’gladbach in a game from the German Bundesliga on Friday.
Despite the fact that Mainz started the season great, achieving eight straight games without a loss, the team is now taking the 5th spot with 45 points in 29 games, a home record of W5 D2 L7, scoring 16 goals and conceding 15 in those games. The team hasn’t had a home victory in Bundesliga, since November 26th 2010, when they won over Nuremberg with 3:0. Since then the team recorded 4 losses and 2 draws at home.
Borussia M’gladbach are currently taking the last spot in the Bundesliga with 26 points in 29 games. The team’s away record reads W4 D2 L8 scoring 20 goals and conceding 38 in those games. The last away victory Borussia achieved was on January 30th 2011 against E. Frankfurt with 1:0.
In the direct games as a visitor, against Mainz, M’gladbach has achieved only one victory back in 2001 in Bundesliga2 with 1:0. Since then, the team recorded a draw in 2004 and then 4 consecutive losses, including the most recent one in 2010 with 0:1. In those 4 losses, Mainz has scored 11 goals and conceded only 1.
While Mainz haven’t had a victory at home in 4 months, it’s logical to back them in this game. Their stats against Borussia are satisfying, and the team really needs a victory here if they want to keep that fifth spot for Europa League placement next year. Borussia M’gladbach on the other hand needs badly a victory to move out of the danger zone and the last place in particular. We all have witnessed games at the end of the season where the “in danger” teams pull out some great game and bring out some surprising end results. My predictions would be however be a first victory for Mainz at home in 4 months. Good luck betting.
