The cup tie pits a lower‑league side against a Bundesliga outfit that has struggled to find consistency on the road, making the fixture a classic David‑versus‑Goliath scenario.

Robbo's Verdict

Solid

Schott Mainz to win Lost Slight lean Solid · Home edge

The model assigns Mainz a 42.5% chance of victory versus Gladbach’s 30.5%, reflecting the home side’s superior expected‑goals rating.

Show the maths

Schott Mainz’s expected goals of 1.35 versus Borussia Mönchengladbach’s 1.10 creates a 0.25 xG advantage for the home team. The model translates that advantage into a 42.5% win probability for Mainz and a 30.5% chance for Gladbach, with the remaining 27.1% allocated to a draw. The higher xG and home advantage thus drive the headline pick.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — No (one side kept off the scoresheet) Won 50.6% model probability

With Schott Mainz averaging 1.35 expected goals and Borussia Mönchengladbach averaging 1.1, the model gives a 50.6% chance at least one side fails to score, ahead of the 49.4% it gives to both teams scoring.

Show the maths

BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Schott Mainz 1.35, Borussia Mönchengladbach 1.1) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 49.4% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 50.6% where at least one side is shut out.

Pick 3 · Total Goals

Under 2.5 Goals Lost 55.7% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.5 (Schott Mainz 1.35 + Borussia Mönchengladbach 1.1) points to a tighter game, with the model giving Under 2.5 Goals a 55.7% chance against 44.3% for Over.

Show the maths

Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Schott Mainz 1.35 + Borussia Mönchengladbach 1.1 = 2.5 combined): 44.3% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 55.7% finishing with 2 or fewer.

Match Result Model
