Mainz 05 - Bochum predictions

Kickoff starts at 15:30 on 11/01/2025 played @ OPEL ARENA

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Bochum may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

Considering what they’re up against, Bochum can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 5.57 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

It’s fair to say even the most avid Mainz 05 supporters were surprised to see their team land a comprehensive Eintracht Frankfurt victory in the last round of the Bundesliga. Having taken an early lead, Mainz smelled blood and went for the jugular resulting in a big-margin, morale-boosting triumph.

Bochum are coming on the back of top-notch performance in their recent home game against Heidenheim in which they won the game 2:0. Better yet, they were in the lead for most of the match, which only makes the victory more decisive.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and Mainz have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

One way or another, Bochum’s recent outings can’t really be considered spectacular. The latest 5 of them ended with 2 or fewer goals on the final tally.

Looking back at the head-to-head history of this matchup, it’s understandable why most bookmakers online decided to price a home win at 1.60. They soundly defeated Bochum last season, and it’s reasonable to expect another triumph.

Silvan Widmer, Maxim Bora Dal, Moritz Jenz will all have to sit this one out due to injuries, leaving the home team’s lineup in a weakened state. They still have an advantage according to betting prices, but it may not be as notable as it would have been otherwise.

Though the odds are against the visitors, at least they’ll be in a position to put up as much of a fight as possible. All of their lineup is accounted for in this match, with no issues from suspensions or injuries.

To balance out this match, we suggest taking a -1.5 Asian Handicap on the obvious favourites in this game. This should increase your returns substantially while still keeping things relatively risk-free.

Betting tip (stake: 8/10): Home -1.5 Asian Handicap 1 at 1xbet
