FSV Mainz 05 to Win

Reason for tip

Mainz have been strong at home of late with four wins and no defeats in their last six home games. The hosts should be able to see off a Schalke side who have just eight points to show from 14 away games in the Bundesliga this season.

FSV Mainz 05 vs Schalke Predictions

  • Mainz beat Bayern Munich 3-1 in their last home games.
  • Mainz are unbeaten in six at home (W4, D2).
  • Schalke have lost eight of their 14 Bundesliga trips.

Struggling Schalke head to Mainz

Schalke sit one point adrift of safety in the Bundesliga after two wins in their last three games but they face a stern test on Friday as they make the trip to European hopefuls Mainz.

The hosts saw a 10-game unbeaten run ended in convincing fashion in their last outing as they went down 3-0 at Wolfsburg, but they have a formidable record at home and will be looking to bounce back against the struggling Royal Blues.

Home comforts key for Mainz

Die Nullfunfer are unbeaten in six at home and they overcame big guns Bayern Munich 3-1 in their last game at the Mewa Arena.

Schalke may have picked up a little of late with six points from the last nine available but both of those successes have come at home. The visitors have managed just one win in 14 attempts on their travels in the Bundesliga this season, losing eight times, and have conceded six goals in total without scoring themselves across their last two trips.

In terms of a correct score bet a 3-1 win for the hosts looks a reasonable suggestion. Mainz have scored at least three goals in three of their last six at home but have gone four games without a clean sheet, while Schalke need to take a few risks as they are in desperate need of points and can at least get on the scoresheet despite their struggles for goals on the road.
