Mainz 05 - Arminia Bielefeld betting tips and odds

We don’t expect Mainz 05 to have any issues beating Arminia Bielefeld. The hosts are largely favoured by all the top bookmakers online and 1.70 might actually be a good-value bet to consider. The visitors are not to be underestimated but on this particular instance the home side are seen as clear winners.

This one has Home Win written all over it. The hosts are expected to grab a firm hold of the proceedings and Team from Bielefeld will be left with slim pickings in this match.

Mainz held the fort for full 45 minutes in the previous Bundesliga home match. A tied first half turned into a narrow defeat, however, which had the Mainz 04 supporters leave the stadium with their heads bowed down.

Arminia’s opponents, Borussia Dortmund, were given odds of 1.33 for a victory with most online sportsbooks. This means that no one was shocked when the favourites pulled ahead in the first half and ultimately won the match 1:0.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

Team from Bielefeld can’t really boast a great record when it comes to playing as visitors. They conceded upwards of 5 goals in their most recent 3 away games. Considering they’re heading into another away game, that’s cause for concern.

Mainz 04 played as the visitors the last time they participated in this showdown, but they managed to win anyway. As such, it’s quite clear why they’re the favourites this Saturday, even though the victory was with a one-goal difference.

And Under 2.5 Goals is the perfect wager for this fixture. A quick glance at these teams’ statistics will tell you all you need to know about their concession rates, which is why it’s a fairly safe bet, generally priced at around 1.75.
