Sheraldo Becker was central to Mainz's win, scoring once and assisting another as the visitors' front line combined for three of their four goals.

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Borussia Mönchengladbach 31%, the draw 27%, FSV Mainz 05 42%. It finished Borussia Mönchengladbach 3–4 FSV Mainz 05.
FSV Mainz 05's rating edge outweighs Borussia Mönchengladbach's home ground — FSV Mainz 05 are the stronger side on our strength rating, and the early-season home fade on top gives FSV Mainz 05 the lean. The draw at 27% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why FSV Mainz 05 at 42%?
FSV Mainz 05 sit 110 points higher on our strength rating — 1764 to 1874. Sides with a 100–200-point rating edge on the road won 40.1% of 13,189 such games. Both sides are inside their first six league games — home wins land softer this early in the season, so this trims Borussia Mönchengladbach's column. Across 11,181 opening-stretch games since 2010, home sides won 42.7% where the rating map expected 44.9%, with draws up 2.0 — negative in every season since 2018. The 300 most similar past games finished 33–33–34.
Why only 42%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 42% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 27% and Borussia Mönchengladbach at 31%.
Why the draw at 27%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 27.2%. These teams' recent games average 3.6 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 22.8% of 17,242. The goals environment takes 2.3 points off the draw. Early-season fixtures add 2.0 points to the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Borussia Mönchengladbach have gained 73 strength-rating points over their last 10 games. Momentum is measured but not yet proven: climbing sides won 41.4% of 12,385 such games vs 40.6% class-expected — inside the noise band, so it stays at 0 points until the receipt clears its evidence bar. FSV Mainz 05 are missing their first-choice keeper and 1 more regular starter — Robin Zentner, Dominik Kohr — about 27% of their usual starting-XI weight. A body count alone told us nothing. The other measured facts on this page scored nothing either.
