SC Freiburg vs FSV Mainz 05 Predictions

Blunt visitors to fall to a defeat

Freiburg should be backed to get a home win over Mainz on Sunday. The visitors are finding it hard to score this season and that could lead to an away defeat here.

Both teams have lost more games than they’ve won this season, but there is a six-place gap between the two sides. Mainz are 17th with one win and seven defeats from their 11 games, while Freiburg sit 11th with three wins and four losses.

Mainz are in a rut, having failed to win nine of their last ten Bundesliga games. They have lost on their last three away trips.

The visitors have been defensively vulnerable of late, with Mainz failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 22 Bundesliga games and unable to shut out the opposition in any of their five away matches this season.

Freiburg have sustained just one defeat in their last six home games against Mainz in the Bundesliga, and the visitors have gone seven games without recording a victory.

Freiburg may be able to edge out Mainz in a close game, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. Both teams have scored in five of the last seven Bundesliga meetings between these sides, and five of Mainz’s seven defeats have come by the odd goal.
