St. Pauli - Mainz 05 predictions

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.

Mainz 05 is a team that doesn't shy away from a challenge and we anticipate them giving their all in this matchup.

The 0:3 result of St. Pauli’s previous outing was quite surprising, to say the least. Playing as visitors against heavily favoured Freiburg , they secured a lead in the first half against a far stronger opponent, catching them by surprise.

It’s fair to say Mainz 05 fans were shocked to see their team lose the previous Bundesliga game. At 1.95 betting odds to win, they were expected to enjoy a walk in the park against Heidenheim. Instead, Mainz 05 suffered a devastating 0:2 blow.

Mainz’s defence seems to be their most prominent weakness at the moment. Having allowed 6 goals in their previous 3 games, it might be a good time to look at Over 3.5 Goals betting markets when it comes to their next match.

The hosts can boast a total of 4 points earned so far, which places them rather low in the standings at 14th. Earning 3 points this Saturday will go a long way in improving that, though it won’t be easy.

With Simon Zoller, Sören Ahlers, Sascha Burchert, Maurides, Robert Wagner all out of the picture, St. Pauli’s lineup is in shambles. The odds may favour them though but we still advise some caution.

Betting on a Double Chance for Away or Draw is almost sure to see success here. The returns may be limited, as you might expect, but the 1.59 odds on Pncl are attractive enough to make the bet worth the effort.
