Freiburg - Mainz 05 predictions

Freiburg have a big mountain to climb. The task ahead is difficult but not impossible but with 2.68 slapped on home win in this match, this one is for the risk-takers.

The visiting team is cognizant of the task before them. A victory over Freiburg on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy feat.

They might have been the 1.84 favourites to claim what was expected to be an easy victory, but Freiburg got more than what they hoped for last time out. They still managed to earn a halt-time lead and do the job in the end by securing a narrow victory.

Despite the home-field advantage and a slight edge in form, Mainz 05 were trailing behind at the half-time mark of their previous round. This came as a surprise given the 2.02 odds on their victory. Nevertheless, they turned things around and won the match 4:1.

The hosts have a dubious performance record at home. The previous 3 times they played at home were marked with over 5 goals conceded. That’s bad news considering playing at home is usually seen as an advantage.

Mainz 05 fans have a lot of cause for concern – with 10 concessions in their latest 3 away games, their track record seems to indicate a tendency to underperform in away games.

This is the second time we’re seeing this matchup this season, and Mainz 05 are still considered favourites by top online bookmakers. Interestingly, they lost the home game they played against Freiburg earlier in the season, but this is their shot at redemption.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.73 if you use the Betway sportsbook.
