If the guests are therefore doing great, the hosts, certainly recovering compared to last year, are trying to return to their medium-high levels and, the current eighth place with the third that is only four points away, induces optimism among the boys of Seoane who, speaking of positive feelings, arrive at the match charged by the large and convincing victory on the field of Heidenheim stamped by the double of Robin Hack that however is scaled down, looking at the streak of three consecutive successes with which Mainz will arrive at Borussia Park. In particular, the last one on the field of the fearsome and structured Leipzig, was an important highlight that sounds both as a warning and as a stimulus for Borussia Monchengladbach who wants to climb back into the positions that count, precisely those occupied now by Mainz.
