FSV Mainz 05 vs SC Freiburg Predictions

Mainz to impress at home

Mainz can be backed to win at home to Freiburg on Sunday, with the visitors having lost four times in their last six away games in the Bundesliga.

Freiburg are eighth in the league, one place above Mainz, but both teams have lost more games than they’ve won this season. The hosts have eight wins and 11 defeats, while the visitors have ten wins and 11 losses.

Mainz maintained their winning habit with a 2-1 victory away at Hoffenheim last weekend, with Phillip Tietz netting both of Mainz’s goals. They will have been pleased with the three points, having been priced at 17/5 to win the game.

Mainz are on a roll at home, having gone seven games unbeaten in the Bundesliga. They have lost just one of their last ten on their own patch, with their last defeat coming against Borussia Dortmund in February.

They have scored in 13 of their last 15 league games, and they have been in prolific form up front recently, netting two goals or more in four consecutive Bundesliga matches.

The visitors are struggling to find the net. Freiburg have failed to score in four of their last six Bundesliga away games.

The visitors have struggled defensively of late, with Freiburg failing to keep a clean sheet in their last nine Bundesliga away games. They have conceded 28 goals on the road this season, an average of two per game from 14 matches.

Mainz may be able to edge out Freiburg in a close game, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. Five of Freiburg’s last seven Bundesliga games have had three or more goals, and Mainz have won their last two matches by a goal.
