Bayer Leverkusen vs FSV Mainz 05 Predictions

• Bayer Leverkusen have recorded eight victories in the last ten Bundesliga head-to-heads.
• There has been four goals or more in nine of Bayer Leverkusen’s 20 Bundesliga matches this season.
• Over 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in Mainz’s last four Bundesliga games.

Leverkusen can edge out a thriller

Although Leverkusen’s preparation has been hampered by a midweek game in the Europa League, their attention swiftly turns back to Bundesliga matters and their slow and steady climb up the table.

Xabi Alonso’s men have scored at least twice in victory in three of their last five league games and should be confident of posting another positive result at home to mid-table Mainz.

The visitors head to Leverkusen on the back of some inconsistent form since the Bundesliga restart (W2, D1, L3), but with no wins across their last four competitive away games, they may struggle to stop that rot here.

These are no happy hunting grounds for Mainz

Mainz don’t often perform at their best here in the BayArena, losing four of their last five away H2Hs whilst failing to even get on the scoresheet in each defeat.

However, only one of the last 13 host sides have kept Mainz off the scoresheet, so they should realistically have enough to trouble the Leverkusen backline in this encounter.

We’re sticking with the hosts to come out on top in this Sunday’s Bundesliga encounter, although we’re going against the trend of home wins to nil in this fixture with a small stakes play on a 3-1 Bayer Leverkusen win in the correct score market.
