Following their recent 2-1 Bundesliga 1 loss to Bayer Leverkusen, Mainz will be looking to go back to winning ways in this match. In their last few games, Mainz's offensive has been quite ineffectual. Their total number of goals against opponents in their last six games is merely 4. Additionally, Mainz has allowed eight goals to be scored against them in those encounters.

Borussia Monchengladbach goes into the match having defeated VfL Bochum 5-2 in their previous meeting in Bundesliga 1.

This season, just one club outside the top five has outscored Gladbach, but the fact that they are now in 15th place indicates that their defensive efforts have been much below average. Monchengladbach will be keeping a close watch on Koln in the relegation playoff place, but considering their lacklustre recent performance, a run of only one loss in ten home games should provide some much-needed confidence.

If their previous head-to-head matches from 20/02/2021 are looked at, Mainz has won 3 of them and Monchengladbach without a win, with 3 draws. During those games, they let up 16 goals in total, with Gladbach scoring five and Mainz scoring eleven. As a result, there are 2.67 goals on average every game.
