Mainz 05 will host Borussia Monchengladbach on Bundesliga matchday 22. The 05ers are in excellent form with back-to-back Bundesliga matches ending as wins.
Borussia Monchengladbach are also in decent form. The Foals are unbeaten in three of their last four Bundesliga matches. Coach Daniel Farke’s team is fresh off a 3-2 home win versus Bayern Munich, which has blown the Bundesliga title race wide open.

Mainz won 1-0 earlier this season versus Borussia Monchengladbach in the league. Aaron Martin scored in the 55th minute for the 05ers to send them to a narrow win. Gladbach had Ko Itakura sent off just before Martin found the back of the net.
The 05ers took 10 points from the last 18 points on offer in the league. They scored 14 goals and conceded 10 across the last six matches in the division. Mainz are on a two-match winning streak at home with both fixtures ending BTTS and over 2.5 goals.
Borussia Monchengladbach took seven points from the last 18 points on offer. The Foals were outscored 11-10 in the last six matches. Gladbach lost four of their last five Bundesliga away matches.
Farke’s team is not good away from home, as they have one just once away from Borussia Park in the league.
Farke has four players on the Gladbach injury list. Midfielder Nathan N’Goumou could miss the match with a knock. Goalkeeper Jan Olschowsky has a finger injury and is out of action.
Marcus Thuram leads Gladbach in goals with 10 in the league. Thuram revealed this week that he will not re-sign with Gladbach and will leave on a free transfer at the end of the season. Thuram is linked with Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich.
Defender Tony Jantschke will miss the match due to a meniscus problem. Midfielder Julian Weigl is ruled out with an ankle injury until late March.
Mainz coach Bo Svensson has just one player on the injury list. Forward Jonathan Burkardt is out of action with a knee injury until March. Karim Onisiwo leads Mainz in goals in the league with eight this season.
Mainz are in good form against Gladbach. The 05ers are unbeaten in back-to-back matches versus the Foals. Mainz won 1-0 earlier this season and should stay unbeaten versus Gladbach.
However, Friday’s match at Mainz should end in a 2-2 draw. Borussia Monchengladbach are unbeaten in their last seven away matches against Mainz in all competitions.
Friday’s match should be an eighth straight away match without a loss away to Mainz.
