Mainz vs Bayer Prediction: Betting on a Hard-Fought Draw

One of the matches of Round 4 of the Bundesliga will be Mainz vs Bayer. Last season the teams exchanged home victories, and in the upcoming game the bookmakers did not find a favorite, considering that the opponents have approximately equal chances of success.

A reach of Round 2 of the German Cup and seven points after three matchdays shows that the Carnival club is in excellent form. They got a nil-nil draw with Union at home, victories over Bochum and Augsburg (2:1) on the road. The result is fantastic. However, Mainz was lucky with the schedule at the start of the season and they did not encounter an opponent of Bayer's level before the start of the season. Before the start of the fourth round, the 05ers are in fourth place, the Champions League zone.

At this rate, Gerardo Seoane's dismissal is not far off. It's no joke, the Eleven were knocked out of the German Cup by some Elfsborg. They lost in the championship to Dortmund, Augsburg, and Hoffenheim. To the latter, the result was 0:3 in their arena. We cannot say that Bayer deserved such a defeat, but we won't be looking for excuses either. In the standings, the Eleven are in the relegation zone, two points behind Eintracht.

• In six of the last seven matches with Mainz in the championship of Germany, a TO (2.5) was reached.
• Bayer lost the past three matches in the championship of Germany.
• Mainz was undefeated in 13 of the last 14 home games in the German championship.
• Mainz has scored at least two goals per encounter in five of their last six games in the German league.

75% of the matches between Bayer and Mainz in the season 2022/23 ended with a TO (2.5). So it is logical to assume that the upcoming meeting will be rich in goals. Mainz will try to get the first home win. Recall that the first home match against Union ended in a draw. For Bayer, it is crucial not just to bring points from Mainz but a meaningful victory. Otherwise Seaone risks remaining without a position in the shortest possible time.
