Borussia Monchengladbach’s impressive home form

Borussia Monchengladbach will welcome Mainz to Borussia-Park this Saturday in German Bundesliga action. Monchengladbach will hope to add to their impressive Bundesliga home record in Saturday’s game. Die Fohlen currently have the Bundesliga’s best home record for the 2019/20 season.

Earning 22 points at Borussia-Park, Monchengladbach have earned more points than any other Bundesliga side at home this season. They have lost just one of their nine games at Borussia-Park this season.

Furthermore, Monchengladbach are currently enjoying an impressive undefeated streak at home in the Bundesliga. They have won each of their last seven Bundesliga home games. We feel that Monchengladbach have a good chance of adding to their impressive home record in Saturday’s fixture.

Borussia Monchengladbach’s impressive defensive record

In addition to their home record, Monchengladbach have also currently got the Bundesliga’s best defensive record for the 2019/20 season. Monchengladbach have conceded just 20 goals in their 18 Bundesliga games thus far. This is fewer than all 17 other Bundesliga sides, at present. 

Monchengladbach have kept a clean sheet in two of their last three Bundesliga games. Their solid defence will worry Mainz going into Saturday’s game. Mainz have struggled in front of goal of late. They have failed to score in two of their last four Bundesliga games.

On top of that, Mainz have failed to score in a third of their Bundesliga games this season. No Bundesliga side have failed to score in more games than Mainz going into Saturday’s game. We feel that they are likely to struggle against the Bundesliga’s best defence in this game. 

Mainz’s poor run of form and poor defensive record

Mainz have been enduring a difficult run of form in recent weeks. They have lost four of their last five Bundesliga games. In addition to that, Mainz have lost six of their nine Bundesliga away games this season. We feel that their poor form may make life difficult for them versus one of the Bundesliga’s best sides in Monchengladbach. 

In contrast to Monchengladbach, Mainz have been poor at the back this season. They currently have the Bundesliga’s joint-worst defensive record with Werder Bremen. They have conceded a total of 41 goals in their 18 Bundesliga games. 

Mainz also have the Bundesliga’s worst away defensive record. They have conceded 24 goals in their nine Bundesliga away games going into Saturday’s fixture. They have conceded at least two more goals than any other Bundesliga side going into Saturday’s fixture.

We feel that Monchengladbach are likely to extend their impressive home win-streak this Saturday. We are backing a Monchengladbach win in this one. 

Monchengladbach may enjoy a comfortable win against the Bundesliga’s worst defence here. We also feel that Mainz will likely struggle to score against Monchengladbach’s solid backline. 

Monchengladbach have scored over 2.5 goals in five of their last seven Bundesliga home games. We feel that a 3-0 win for Monchengladbach is a likely result of this game.
