📰 Team News: Gladbach

It looks as if Gladbach look set to employ a 4-2-3-1 system for this game, utilising Jonas Omlin, Stefan Lainer, Marvin Friedrich, Nico Elvedi, Lukas Ullrich, Philipp Sander, Julian Weigl, Nathan N'Goumou, Alassane Plea, Robin Hack and Tim Kleindienst.

📰 Team News: Mainz

In an otherwise full-strength group of players, there’s only the one fitness problem for the Mainz gaffer Bo Henriksen to contend with. Stefan Bell (Hamstring injury) won’t be in action.

We are inclined to think that Mainz might make use of a 3-4-3 system by sending out Robin Zentner, Danny da Costa, Moritz Jenz, Dominik Kohr, Anthony Caci, Kaishu Sano, Nadiem Amiri, Philipp Mwene, Paul Nebel, Jonathan Burkardt and Jae-Sung Lee.

🔮 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Mainz and Borussia Mönchengladbach might both not be able to do quite enough to get on the scoresheet here.

We’ll see, but this could easily end up all-square. Therefore, we predict a very competitive game with a 0-0 score when the referee blows the final whistle.
