FSV Mainz vs SC Freiburg Prediction: Mainz will continue marching

Mainz have been in impressive form lately and they have a chance to prove it as they welcome Freiburg to the MEWA Arena for the 25th round of the Bundesliga. Mainz are on a run of 5 matches without a defeat and within this time, they beat teams like Bayer Leverkusen away from home. SC Freiburg on the other hand are in a rough patch. They crashed out of the Europa League after losing home and away to Italian giants Juventus. Will Mainz be able to exploit the depleted Freiburg team or are we expecting a positive response from Freiburg.

FSV Mainz have got themselves rolling in a groove recently. The team has not tasted a single defeat in their last 5 Bundesliga matches and they look like they’re going to be pushing for a 6th unbeaten here. FSV Mainz played a 1-1 draw against Hertha Berlin in their last match. FSV Mainz were trailing in the first 18 minutes after Jessic Ngankam converted from the spot to give the hosts the lead. But that did not keep the Mainz team down as they equalised in the 57th minute to preserve their unbeaten record. In their last 5 matches, they recorded 4 wins and 1 draw.

Mainz are in 7th spot on the table, with 36 points from 24 matches. They recorded 10 wins, 6 draws and 8 defeats.

Team Streaks: - No losses (5), more than 2.5 goals (7/9), first to score (4/5), first half winner (4/5).

Freiburg are struggling at the moment and their recent exit from the Europa league shows that. They were beaten in both legs against Juventus (1-0) and (2-0). In their last Bundesliga match, they beat TSG Hoffenheim 2-1 at home. Maximilian Eggestein and Ritsu Doan both scored in the 5th and 89th minute in that match to grab all 3 points against Hoffenheim. In their last 5 matches, Freiburg had 1 win, 2 losses and 2 draws. Freiburg are currently in 5th place, with 45 points from 24 matches. They had 13 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses, with a goal ratio of 37:33.

Team Streak: - Without clean sheet (3), less than 2.5 goals (5/6), more than 4.5 cards (5/7), less than 10.5 corners (7/8).

Mainz and Freiburg have played about 20 matches before this match. Mainz have 8 wins, while SC Freiburg have 6 wins and 6 matches ended in a draw. 

• Freiburg have not lost in their last 3 meetings
• Less than 4.5 cards were shown in 8/10 meetings.
• Less than 10.5 corners were played in 4/5 meetings.

Mainz are heading into this match with a great record and form and this is a strong indication that they can grab a win here. Freiburg are barely hanging onto their 5th spot, but that's temporary. I see them dropping down to a lower position in a few weeks. Mainz are gunning for a top spot and there is an indication they will achieve that in a few weeks.
