Mainz can turn the tables on travel-sick Hannover

BT Sport 1 from 2.30pm Sunday

Borussia Monchengladbach v Stuttgart

BT Sport 1, 5pm

Not even Borussia Monchengladbach could believe they would be sitting second in the Bundesliga two points clear of perennial champions Bayern but that's where they find themselves after 13 matches and they can strengthen their position with a win over Stuttgart.

Home form has been the key - the Foals have won all six league matches at Borussia Park - and they can make it a magnificent seven with something to spare.

Stuttgart have won just one of their seven away league games this season and although their form has picked up with two wins in their last three games, the hosts should be too strong.

Recommendation
Borussia Monchengladbach win to nil
1pt 15-8 188Bet

Key stat
Stuttgart have scored just three goals in their last six league matches.

Mainz v Hannover

2.30pm

Hannover did the double over Mainz in the Bundesliga last season but the hosts look the value when these two meet at the Coface Arena.

The pair were more evenly matched than those results suggests last season with Hannover finishing 14th and Mainz 15th but they appear at different levels this time.

Mainz sit tenth after winning three of their last four league games - the other result was a respectable 2-1 home loss to runaway leaders Dortmund.

Hannover are second-bottom having taken just four points from their last six matches and they could be brushed aside by Mainz.

Recommendation
Mainz
2pts Evs general

Key stat
Hannover haven't won any of their seven away league games this season
