Freiburg vs Mainz Prediction & Betting Tips (3 November)

After failing to qualify for a continental competition last spring, SC Friborg of course wants to do better this year by securing a place for a European Cup. He has nothing to be ashamed of for his start to the season since he is in a very interesting 6th place, 2 points from the podium. Heavily beaten at home by Sankt Pauli 0-3, the Brazilians from Brigsau were then able to raise their heads by beating Werder Bremen 0-1 and Augsburg 3-1. On the other hand, they could not resist RB Leipzig last week. This week, SC Freiburg hosted HSV Hamburg for the German Cup and ended up winning 2-1. Mainz, for their part, should not have a say in the European race this season.

However, this team still hopes to do better than last year by obtaining a much quieter hold and quickly leaving the teams at the bottom of the table behind. Quite irregular since the start of the season, FSV was beaten at home by Heidenheim 0-2 before recovering against Sankt Pauli 0-3. The visitors were then dominated by RB Leipzig 0-2 and then picked up a point last week against Borussia Mönchengladbach 1-1. This week, a difficult duel awaited Mainz against Bayern Munich in the German Cup and as expected, this team was no match 0-4.

Once again, long-term injured midfielder Kyereh will miss this meeting. Same observation for playmaker Merlin Röhl and substitutes Gulde and Schmidt who are all victims of physical problems at the moment.

The players of the Black Forest club can, however, count on their best offensive players like the Austrian Adamu (2 goals, 1 assist), the Italian Grifo (3 goals, 5 assists, scorer in the Cup this week) and the Japanese Doan (4 goals, 1 assist) who are capable of posing serious problems to the Mainz defense.
