Mainz 05 - Hertha BSC betting tips and odds

It’s easy to point out Mainz 05 as the clear favourites, but we wouldn’t call this match completely one-sided. The hosts are definitely more likely to win between the two, but a tie game is another possibility. An away win would be quite a surprise, but we’ve seen bigger upsets.

With a price of 5.00 on an away win among most online sportsbooks, it’s clear Hertha BSC will likely not fare well against Mainz 04. Even a draw seems to be too optimistic for the away team.

Mainz were not exactly the favourites to claim all three points from their last away game in the Bundesliga. However, their fans sure hoped a surprise would be possible, especially after an even first 45 minutes. In the end, the supporters will have been left disappointed by the heavy Hoffenheim defeat.

The visiting team previously recorded a 2:2 tie with Bayer Leverkusen in a recent home game. Although the game was essentially one long stalemate, things turned out alright for Team from Berlin. After all, they were the hard underdogs in that particular matchup despite the home-field advantage.

The hosts will be looking to cut down on the number of goals they concede. They’ve recorded more than 5 total concessions over the last 3 matches, which is usually a cause for concern.

Team from Berlin’s only goal this early in the season is to put some more distance between them and the dreaded relegation zone. They’re currently number 15th in the standings, though, with some difficult matchups coming up.

In terms of head-to-head stats, the closest point of reference right now is from last season when Mainz walked away with a decisive victory. This is an entirely new campaign but most top online bookies are still expecting the match to end in their favour.

The visitors’ status as underdogs is further made worse by the exceptionally high number of injuries going into this match. Linus Gechter, Lee Dong-Jun, Kelian Nsona Wa Saka, Jessic Ngankam, Derry Lionel Scherhant will all be unable to play at OPEL ARENA, so think twice before putting down any bets.

We recommend taking up 10Bet’s offer for a Draw/Home result in the Half Time/Full Time market, priced at 4.60. It’s fairly good for value, but you might want to steer clear if you’re looking for high-probability wagers.
