Mainz can't beat Bayer for eight matches in a row, but will The Pharmacists put an end to that streak on February 18? The answer is in our prediction.

Command Analysis

Mainz 05

In the previous season Mainz barely avoided relegation, but in the new season Bo Svensson's team is more successful. Carnival Club put up a solid performance at the start of the season and even spent some time in the European competitions zone. However, after 22 rounds Mainz are at the 9th spot in the standings with 31 points in the asset, so team still has a chance to get back into the European competitions zone.
Carnival Club is three points adrift from the 6th placed Freiburg and it is still possible to overcome this deficit. Club also can still fight for the Champions League zone - a 4th placed Leipzig is only three points away. In the latest match Mainz drew to Freiburg (1:1), extending the unbeaten run to two matches.

Bayer Leverkusen

Bayer are having an inconsistent, but a solid season - Gerardo Seoane's team had a goal to finish the season inside the Top 4 and so far Leverkusen side is quite successful. The Pharmacists are approaching the 23rd round at the 3rd spot in the standings with 41 points in the asset - a 2nd placed Borussia Dortmund is five points higher, Bayern is 11 points away.
Bayer are seven points clear of Leipzig, Hoffenheim and Freiburg, all of whom are fighting for the Champions League spots. In the latest round Bayer recorded a 4:2 home victory over Stuttgart, getting a fourth consecutive win in Bundesliga and a 12th one in the season overall.

Tip and bets
Mainz suffered a loss of form and dropped to the 9th spot in the standings, but team is still in the race for the European qualification. Bayer, on the other hand, improved their performance recently and recorded four consecutive victories, scoring 16 goals in the process, it will be extremely difficult for Mainz to stop such a difficult opponent.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (0) on Bayer
Mainz looked bleak in recent matches, club got only one victory out of four latest games. Bayer are overwhelming favourites for this clash, they are a more classy team. Visitors should be able to get the three points, Carnival Club was a comfortable opponent for Bayer in recent years. But we are not expecting a blowout, Mainz should be able to score a consolation goal at home.
Our second bet is on Bayer to win by one goal
