Freiburg - Mainz 05 betting tips and odds

The online bookies marked Freiburg as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Mainz 05 winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

The 3.50 away win betting odds indicate that Mainz are the underdogs of this matchup. The difference is not huge, though, so both a victory for the visitors and are draw are still on the table.

A Köln defeat was not something Freiburg fans can exactly be happy about. Their team trailed at the break and lost in the end but, if it’s any consolation, a narrow, one-goal margin defeat is a smaller pill to swallow than any away thumping.

Mainz snagged a stunning 2:0 victory against Hoffenheim in the last round. The match-up was quite tough for Mainz 04 despite the home-field advantage, so the victory is not something most betting predictions saw coming.

With more than 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 fixtures, Freiburg’s performance leaves something to be desired. That said, savvy punters could be able to exploit this – think BTTS or Over 5 Goals markets, for example.

Mainz 04 are performing rather sub-par whenever they play away. For instance, they have more than 5 conceded goals spread over their most recent 3 away games.

Freiburg may be the favourites in this matchup, but they’ve yet to prove they can conclusively defeat Mainz this season. They had several opportunities to do so, and all ended with a tied result.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 2.01, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
