Prediction: Mainz 2-2 Monchengladbach
We expect a quality contest given how both sides come in with good form.
Monchengladbach beating Bayern recently was a boost of confidence to their chances, while Mainz can go 4 victories on the trot.
There are leaky defences on either side and a high scoring contest is set to take place. Hence, a draw is the favourable result.
Players to watch out for: Burkardt, Onisiwo, Zakaria and Embolo.
