3.65Tip and bets
We don't think the visitors will have any problems in this match. Mainz is much stronger than their opponents and represents a much higher status division, so they should win with any lineup. Most likely, the Bundesliga club will be able to secure a confident victory in their first official match after coming back from vacation.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1) on Mainz for 1.75
Bet on total
The game will probably be dictated by the guests, who will play in an attacking style, as in most recent matches. It is unlikely that the hosts' defense will be able to hold back the attacking onslaught of the opponent, so all that remains is to respond with their own attacks. Most likely, fans will see many goals scored.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.62
Bet on corners
We think that the visitors will dominate the field, so we will probably see many corners from Mainz. In this indicator, the representative of the elite division should overtake the opponent.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-2.5) on Mainz for corners with odds of 1.77
