Greuther Fürth - Mainz 05 betting tips and odds

A mere glance at the betting odds for this match should tell you most you need to know. A home win here is almost an impossible outcome, so it’s not very likely we’ll see solid betting opportunities in the 1X2 market.

The match is most likely to go in the away team’s favour, though it’s by no means a sure thing. With 1.81 betting odds to win, Mainz 05 have the upper hand going in, but all three possible outcomes are possible.

Greuther Fürth are coming on the back of an away draw (2:2) in the previous round against Arminia Bielefeld . The score was tied at both half-time and the final whistle, which isn’t too bad for Greuther Fürth considering the 2.00 odds on them.

Mainz managed to win their latest home outing against Bochum, if only by a hairpin. Most betting predictions expected more from them considering the balance of power was in their favour, though, and a narrow 1:0 is nothing be excited about.

Though the 5 concessions over the past 3 away games for Greuther Fürth may not directly affect this particular match, such a history may be cause for concern for their supporters.

Our confidence that Mainz 04 will manage to hold their composure in an away game is shaky. They have over 5 concessions on record in their latest 3 visiting games alone.

Mainz 04 are expected to win this bout despite playing on Greuther Fürth ’s home turf. This prediction makes a lot of sense when you consider their first bout this season. Playing as the hosts, Mainz 04 took a decisive lead and ended the match with a noteworthy goal difference.

The hosts are in an unenviable position either way, but a large number of reported injuries makes it even worse. Marius Funk, Robin Kehr, Justin Hoogma, Gideon Jung, Jessic Ngankam are all forced to sit this one out. The hurdles set in front of Greuther Fürth are considerable.

And Away Win wager here offers a nice balance between risk and reward. It’s a bit riskier than what most betting predictions usually suggest, but the 1.83 odds are worth it in terms of value.
