Mainz will welcome Borussia Mönchengladbach to Mewa Arena this Friday for the first game of Round 22 of the 2022/23 Bundesliga season. Both teams come into this tie on the back of massive wins and sitting level on points in the table.
Mainz were involved in one of the feistiest games of recent years last weekend as they took the lead three times in an eventual 3-2 win over Leverkusen in a game that saw 13 cards shown.

They are sitting in ninth position on goal difference, with their visitors the team directly above them. Their poor goal difference is down to their low attacking numbers, as they are the lowest-scoring Bundesliga side in the top ten with 33 goals.
Meanwhile, Borussia Mönchengladbach enter this clash full of confidence after blowing the title race wide open with a 3-2 victory over Bayern Munich last time out.
The Foals are currently sitting six points better off than at the same stage of last season. As a result, they can provisionally leapfrog Wolfsburg into seventh place with a victory here. However, playing away isn’t likely to inspire confidence for Daniel Farke’s side as they have picked up just 24% of their points on the road (W1, D4, L5), with only relegation battlers Stuttgart and Schalke winning fewer Bundesliga games on their travels.Despite this, we can expect both teams to score (BTTS/GG) in this game, given their respective home and away forms.
