Mainz are in a terrific home run. They are undefeated in 13 of their last 14 league games at MEWA-Arena.
Although Bayer have kicked off the campaign in abject fashion with four straight defeats, they are still one of the best sides in the league and top contenders for UCL spots.
The hosts have scored at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 6 league games. So goals can be expected.
Indeed, collecting seven points from a possible nine to start their new campaign is a promising start for Mainz. They are one of the six teams, who remain unbeaten in Bundesliga yet, which says it all.
Bo Svensson’s team will face another test this Saturday, as they face Bayer Leverkusen, a side they beat just once in their previous home h2h meetings (L3).
Meanwhile, a positive result in the upcoming match will be enough for the hosts to go undefeated in their first four top-flight fixtures for the first time since 2014/15.
On the other hand, Bayer Leverkusen have endured a worse start to their new league season, suffering three consecutive defeats.
Meanwhile, Gerardo Seoane’s team come into this match with clear problems in front of goal; they are the worst team in league with the fewest goals scored so far (1).
The good news for Die Werkself are that the last time they started the campaign with three successive league losses (2018/19), they went on to finish fourth.
Marcus Ingvartsen is ruled out for a few weeks with a knee injury.
Goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky is back after suspension. Florian Wirtz is out with an ACL injury, Amine Adli has a shoulder problem, and Andrey Lunev has a thigh injury.
Charles Aranguiz and Timothy Fosu-Mensah are doubtful.
Mainz: Zentner; Bell, Hack, Letsch, Martin, Lee, Widmer, Kohr, Stach, Burkardt, Onisiwo
Bayer Leverkusen: Hradecky; Tapsoba, Frimpong, Tah, Hincapie, Demirbay, Hlozek, Andrich, Azmoun, Diaby, Schick
Six of Mainz’s previous seven league games have seen at least three goals. Thus, we will back “the hosts’ double chance and total goals over 2.5” outcome for a quick profit bet. This bet has odds of 2.78 at 22Bet.
The last match between these teams ended in a 3:2 win for Mainz in February 2022.
