Mainz 05 - Bayer Leverkusen predictions

With a difficult matchup ahead of them, Mainz 05 will need to focus if they want to bring in another 3 points. They are not overwhelmingly outmatched by any means, but they are generally seen as the underdogs compared to Bayer Leverkusen.

Things are looking problematic for the visiting side. They are going up against a stronger team which also has a home pitch advantage. Victory is still within reach – they’ll just have to work harder than usual to get it.

Bundesliga betting odds gave Mainz a slight edge in their previous Bundesliga game despite the fact they were playing away. The odds didn’t mean much in the end, though: they fell behind early and the goal difference only increased with time, culminating in a painful 4:0 loss.

With 4.93 odds to win and home-field advantage, Bayer Leverkusen were clearly likely to win their previous Bundesliga match before kick-off. The game went about as expected – they took an early lead and kept at it until they eventually won 2:0.

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.

We should point out that Team from Leverkusen scored more than 5 goals over the course of their previous 3 home games. They’re visitors this time around, but it’s still worth noting for the benefit of bets like Over 5 Goals.

An exciting game is in store as both teams have their full rosters available due to no injuries or suspensions.

Backing the visitors here is definitely on the safe side, but we still recommend going for a Draw No Bet. You can then rest assured that you’ll get plenty of value and not worry about losing to an unfortunate stalemate.
