Mainz 05 - Freiburg betting tips and odds

While the scales seem somewhat tipped in the hosts’ favour, the win is anyone’s to take. Statistically speaking, all 3 outcomes to this match are quite possible, making reliable betting predictions hard to come by.

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.

The hosts narrowly avoided losing an away game in the previous round – which isn’t great news considering most bookies expected them to win. Their opponents Hertha BSC were leading at halftime, but a late-game equaliser from Mainz 05 managed brought the score to 1:1.

There’s not a lot that can be said about Freiburg’s previous performance because the whole affair was rather predictable. An early lead allowed them to stroll their way to a comfortable 2:1 home win against Hoffenheim.

With 6 goals in their previous 3 Bundesliga matches, Mainz’s attacking players have been seeing a lot of success and top bookmakers online are backing them to continue the trend.

This is the second time these two teams will clash as part of the current Bundesliga season. Freiburg won the first time around, though it was a rather close victory and most bookies are expecting this match to end differently.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 2. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
