vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Borussia Mönchengladbach go into this fourth round of the Bundesliga bottom of the table with zero points: three matches, all lost, three goals scored and twelve conceded. At home they have played once, losing 3-4, while away they have lost both trips without scoring, conceding eight goals across two games. Their recent results follow the same pattern: a 0-5 defeat at Freiburg, before that a 3-4 home loss to Elversberg and further back a 0-3 defeat at RB Leipzig; ahead of that run came two wins, 5-0 at Schott Mainz and 2-1 over Aston Villa. FSV Mainz 05 sit seventh with four points from three games, one win, one draw and one defeat, six goals scored and three conceded. On the road they have won their only trip 5-0, while at home the record is a draw and a defeat from two matches, scoring once and conceding three. In the last round they lost 1-3 at home to Eintracht Frankfurt; before that they won 5-0 away at Hamburger SV, drew 0-0 with Paderborn, won 9-0 at Krieschow and beat Bournemouth 2-1. Among recent meetings between the two sides, the 1-1 draw in Mönchengladbach last April stands out, along with the 1-3 home defeat for the hosts in March 2025. The competition average is 3.84 goals per game. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
