Command Analysis
Mainz 05
Current form
Mainz has been showing very unstable results in the Bundesliga since the beginning of the season, having won twice, drawn once and lost. It is characteristic that the carnivals have not won on their own field yet: a goalless draw with Paderborn and a 1-3 defeat from Eintracht. In the last game before the international break, they managed to beat Borussia Monchengladbach (3:4) in an away shootout. If Urs Fischer's team played zero in the opening two matches, then they conceded six goals in the last two meetings, there are questions about the defensive game, and the main goalkeeper, Centner, is still healing his injury. With seven points scored, Mainz is in sixth place in the table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kor and Silas will not play due to injuries. Nebel, Widmer and Hundredweight are questionable.
Interesting betting trends
In four of the last five matches against Mainz, more than one goal was scored in the first half.
In seven of the previous nine matches, Mainz players scored more shots on goal than their opponents.
In the opening round of the Bundesliga, Bayer suffered a sensational defeat away from Elversberg with a score of 2:3. After that setback, Leverkusen, taking into account all the tournaments, issued a four-match winless streak. In particular, we successfully started in the Europa League with a 2-0 home victory over Celje. On the eve of the international break, the pharmacists won an important match against Leipzig (2-0) on their own field and occupy fifth place in the Bundesliga with seven points. It should be noted that Bayer, under the leadership of Carles Martinez, plays attacking football, regularly creates many dangerous chances at other people's gates, while managing to stabilize the game in defense: Leverkusen won the last three victories with a dry score.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bayer Douai and Eichhorn are on the injured list. Ben Segier, Culbreth, and Kofane are questionable.
Interesting betting trends
In four consecutive matches, Bayer has won in the first half.
Bayer has not lost by offsides in five meetings in a row.
Over the course of the season, Bayer has noticeably improved in terms of stability, on the eve of the international break he scored two wins with a dry score. Mainz is not very stable, and there are problems with home matches, as the carnivals have not won on their own field yet. Urs Fischer's team has a match against an inconvenient opponent ahead of them: the pharmacists have won three of the last four face-to-face matches on this field. We believe that Bayer will have a good chance to get three points again today.
Our betting tip is that Bayer will win by a factor of 2.18
Bayer under the leadership of Martinez demonstrates high efficiency in attack. In the previous five matches in the Bundesliga and in the Champions League, Leverkusen scored more than one goal. We do not think that the Mainz defense will become a serious obstacle to the visitors' offensive line today. Moreover, Patrick Schick did not play for the national team, the Czech player has a lot of strength.
The second bet is Bayer's individual goal total of more than 1.5 with a coefficient of 1.70
Betting on corners
Matches involving Bayer are notable for their high corner scores. In five of the six previous Leverkusen matches, more than 10 corners were played, which we are waiting for today.
The betting tip is a total of more than 10.5 corners with a coefficient of 2.20
