Match Analysis
In their last three games, Mainz has struggled significantly, failing to secure a win.

Such a form has contributed to their current standing at the bottom of the table. Key metrics like their average of 1.0 goals scored and 1.8 goals conceded per game reflect their current challenges on both ends of the pitch, compounded by an absence of clean sheets in recent matches.

They managed a goalless draw against second-place RB Leipzig and delivered solid victories over Heidenheim and FC Koln, scoring three goals in each match. Their defensive solidity is highlighted by three clean sheets in their last five matches, and they boast a balanced average of 1.8 goals scored and 1.0 conceded per game. This form is supported by advanced metrics showing an average of 1.994 expected goals scored and 1.114 expected goals conceded, indicating their potential to create chances and maintain defensive strength.
Final Prediction
M'gladbach's recent performances and superior statistics suggest they have the upper hand in this matchup. Their ability to score consistently and maintain clean sheets could be decisive factors against a struggling Mainz side. Fans should keep an eye on M'gladbach's attacking play, as their ability to convert chances into goals could dictate the outcome of this encounter.
