Borussia M’gladbach are determined to put their nightmare start behind them when they take on Mainz on Matchday 4, having conceded 12 goals in consecutive defeats to Leipzig, Elversberg, and Freiburg. Interim boss Jan-Moritz Lichte faces a difficult task as he looks to help the team regain confidence. Adding to their woes, forward Tim Kleindienst is banned following his sending-off in the 5-0 loss to Freiburg. Gladbach have still won 60% of their last 10 matches, scoring an impressive 2.90 goals per game, while their home scoring average stands at 3.00.
Die Nullfunfer, meanwhile, aim to recover from a 3-1 loss to Frankfurt and arrive with considerably better recent numbers. Both Rael Nakuzola and Ransford Konigsforffer are pushing for a start, while there are no fresh injury worries for Mainz. The visitors have won 70% of their last 10 matches and boast an excellent defensive record, conceding just 0.80 goals per game and keeping six clean sheets. Mainz have also been particularly dangerous away from home, averaging 5.67 goals scored per match and 2.62 xG. With Gladbach struggling defensively, Mainz could take advantage.
As Mainz have won 70% of their last 10 and arrive in much better form, we are tempted to bet on Away Win, alongside Over 2.5 goals (Gladbach's recent matches average 4.80 goals, while their defensive problems make another open game likely).
This Bundesliga match will be played on Saturday 19 September 2026 at 14:30.
