Bayer Leverkusen - Mainz 05 predictions

This is a fairly one-sided matchup in the hosts’ favour. While there may be a tiny chance of a draw or even an upset, we wouldn’t count on it. Bayer Leverkusen winning is by far the most likely outcome.

Mainz 05 stand next to no chance at beating the hosts in this match. For instance, most bookies online offer odds of 14.00 for an away win, indicating a very small chance of success.

The hosts’ latest Bundesliga triumph was unsurprising, considering the 8.50 away win betting odds most bookies gave them going in. They recorded a lead at halftime and eventually a narrow 1:2 away win, securing themselves another 3 points for the tally.

Mainz walked away with a 1:0 home win after their previous home game against Augsburg. They were considered favourites going in, however, so it’s hard to take that match as an example of their current form.

A quick look at the recent trends reveals a solid record for Bayer Leverkusen, who have managed to score 5 times in their previous 3 matches. This means that markets like BTTS or Over 5 Goals are worth your attention.

Bayer Leverkusen already have a victory over Mainz on their record. It happened earlier in this running season of the Bundesliga, marking them as the clear favourites for the upcoming showdown.

The visitors’ status as underdogs is further made worse by the exceptionally high number of injuries going into this match. Andreas Hanche-Olsen, Maxim Leitsch, Nelson Felix Patrick Weiper, Stefan Bell, Edimilson Fernandes will all be unable to play at BayArena, so think twice before putting down any bets.

An Under 3.5 Goals bet is an interesting choice for this match. It’s quite safe as you might expect, but the 1.30 odds offer more in the way of betting value than you would think.
