Mainz vs Borussia Mönchengladbach Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Bundesliga 2025-26

Three of the last five matches between these clubs have ended in a draw.

FSV Mainz 05 are all set to lock horns with Borussia Mönchengladbach for their matchweek 13 fixture of the Bundesliga 2025-26 season. This is going to be an entertaining outing between these clubs, which will take place at the Mewa Arena.

The 05ers will be at home and must use it to their advantage. They are on a lacklustre run of form, having won just once in their first 12 German league outings.

SC Freiburg dominated Mainz 05 in their last fixture. The hosts are going to be under pressure due to their poor run of form.

Borussia Mönchengladbach have been knocked out of the DFB-Pokal title race after losing their match by a scoreline of 1-2 against FC St. Pauli. Their performances in the league have been below average.

The Foals are placed 12th on the Bundesliga points table. They only have three wins in their bag in the domestic competition at the moment.

Players to Watch

Nadiem Amiri (Mainz)

Nadiem Amiri is going to be one of the main men in the attacking front for FSV Mainz 05. He has scored three goals and also has an assist to his name in 11 Bundesliga appearances this season. Amiri will be looking to step up his game to score a goal or two, which can be helpful for his side.

Haris Tabakovic (Mgladbach)

Haris Tabakovic is going to create constant problems for the opponent’s defence. He has nine goal involvements in 11 league games in the ongoing campaign and will be keen to add more to his tally. The 31-year-old looks in decent form and is going to play a crucial part for the visitors in the final third.
