Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Mainz and Borussia M’gladbach square off against each other at Mewa Arena in the opening match of Bundesliga round 8. Die Nullfunfer have been having their ups and downs of late, losing to both Heidenheim and Leipzig, while beating Augsburg and St. Pauli, but they are surely capable of matching die Fohlen at home ground. All Andreas Hanche-Olsen, Karim Onisiwo, and Nikolas Veratschnig miss out with injuries for the home team.
Die Fohlen, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-2 win over Heidenheim. Borussia M’gladbach, though, continue with their old habit of struggling on the travels and we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing more than one point from Saturday’s encounter. The likes of Nico Elvedi, Luca Netz, Nathan N’Goumou, Jonas Omlin, Jan Olschowsky, and Simon Walde are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side.
