LiontipsHolstein vs Mainz. Bundesliga match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Only in the ninth round did Holstein achieve their first and so far only victory in the Bundesliga. They managed to beat Heidenheim with a minimal score of 1:0. However, Marcel Rapp men failed to build on their success, and in the last round they suffered a 1:2 away defeat to Werder. With five points scored, the team approaches the upcoming game in the penultimate 17th place in the table. We should note the good performance in attack - 12 goals scored, this is the best result among the three worst teams in the championship.

Mainz deservedly receives the bookmakers' status of favorite. The Carnival players have not lost away this season, and they perform better than their upcoming opponent, given their position in the table. Holstein will undoubtedly make every effort at home to earn points, but overall the team play is not stable.
