Mainz and Borussia Monchengladbach will battle for three points in a Bundesliga matchday 13 clash on Friday (December 5th). The game will be played at Mewa Arena.
The home side are coming into the game on the back of a 4-0 thrashing they suffered away to Freiburg last weekend. Lukas Kubler and Vincenzo Grifo scored to put the hosts 2-0 up by the 26th minute, before Mainz were reduced to 10 men when Paul Nebel was sent off in the 28th minute. Johan Manzambi and Patrick Osterhage scored second half goals to complete the rout.
Monchengladbach, meanwhile, fell to a 2-1 defeat at home to St. Pauli in the DFB Pokal last time out. They were 1-0 down at the break due to Martijn Kaars' 43rd-minute goal. Haris Tabakovic equalized in the 56th minute but Louis Oppie scored the match-winner to help St. Pauli advance.
