Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Mainz and Borussia M’gladbach face each other in the opening match of day 11 at Mewa Arena. Die Nullfunfer aim to build on back-to-back wins over Augsburg (4-1) and Arminia Bielefeld (2-1), and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Talented attacker Jonathan Burkardt looks unstoppable at the moment, meaning that the opposition defenders should have him at bay. Defender Jerry St. Juste should be the only absentee in the home team.
Die Fohlen, on the other hand, recorded an expected 2-1 win over Bochum in their last league match. Borussia M’gladbach aim to keep on climbing the standings, and seeing that they will go for a win in Friday’s clash as well, we are tempted to put our money on both teams to score. All Tony Jantschke, Jordan Beyer, Christoph Kramer, Stefan Lainer, and Mamadou Doucoure are out of contention with injuries for the away side.
Highlighted Player (Jean-Philippe Mateta):
A talented French youngster Jean-Philippe Mateta worked his way up through football’s less glamorous landscapes plying his trade at local amateur sides and third-tier outfits before Ligue 1 giants Lyon took notice of his 11 goals in 22 matches and brought him to the big league.
Having failed to make it into the first team in a debut season with Les Gones, Mateta was shipped out to Le Havre, leading the club to promotion play-offs. Bundesliga side Mainz took notice of his ability and came calling in the summer of 2018 after he bagged 17 goals in 35 league matches. An imposing physical presence at his 192cm, Mateta is a mobile forward and a decent dribbler who can finish with both of his feet.
Having worked his way up from the very bottom, Jean-Philippe Mateta is a committed individual determined to make a name for himself. His impressive goalscoring record got rewarded in the form of France U19 call-up in 2017.
