Team News

Mainz
Borussia M.Gladbach
  • Jessic Ngankam is suspended for two games after his sending off last Friday, while Athony Caci is also on the naughty step after totting up five yellow cards.
  • Striker Nelson Weiper is ruled out after a knee surgery, while Stefan Bell has a heart inflammation issue that is of concern.
  • Andreas Hanche-Olsen is nearing a return from a muscle tear. Edimilson Fernandes has ankle problems, while Maxim Leitsch has adductor problems.
  • Ko Itakura and Nico Elvedi are both available after suspension. Luca Netz should return from illness.
  • Jonas Omlin is nearing a return from a shoulder injury, while Tomas Cvancara has suffered ankle ligament damage. Alassane Pléa is struggling with a foot injury.

Prediction

  • A genuine relegation six-pointer. Mainz are two points behind a relegation-playoff spot, but a miserable 18 goals scored coupled with nine draws have prevented any upward trajectory.
  • Gladbach picked up their first win in six games last weekend, but have dropped the most points after taking the lead this season, a massive 23 points in fact, losing the lead on nine seperate occasions.
  • As expected Mainz lost to the league leaders last Friday, but prior to that grabbed only their second win of the season to give Bo Henriksen, their third boss of the season, a great start to his tenure.
  • The reverse fixture ended in a 2-2 draw and another stalemate could be on the best option here again.
