Borussia Monchengladbach-Mainz is a Bundesliga Week 5 match
BORUSSIA MONCHENGLADBACH – MAINZ | Sunday 5:30pm
Still unbeaten after four matches, the hosts of Borussia Monchegladbach. Of course, last weekend, there was Sommer’s record number of saves in a single match: the one against Bayern Munich that ended one to one. The extreme defender outdid himself, intervening eighteen times during the ninety minutes, and allowed his team to take home a point that to say deserved is surely saying too much. But that’s why football is beautiful, because it’s not an exact science and because it doesn’t always give the desired results.
Mainz, on the other hand, experienced the bitter taste of defeat last weekend. The winner was Bayer Leverkusen, who instead scored their first win of the season. It was a match that was already in the first half, and one that could perhaps even carry some after-effects with it. The feeling, in fact, is that the hosts are favourites and can definitely take another win that would keep them in the top flight.
The Prediction
In a match that should result in at least three goals in total, a victory for the hosts Borussia Monchengladbach seems very likely. A team built to stay at the top, unlike Mainz who, however, occupy a very good position in the standings. But it seems difficult for the guests to come away with a positive result.
