1.65Tip and bets
The opponents in the upcoming match are located on adjacent lines in the tournament table and, in general, since the beginning of the season, have not demonstrated a stable game so that one could single out one of them as an obvious favorite. Mainz is playing on its home field, but so far this factor has not helped much - only one point has been scored. There is a high probability of a draw in the duel between largely equal opponents. Especially considering that in the last two face-to-face meetings they were unable to identify the strongest.
Our prediction is a draw with odds of 3.70
Bet on total
In the last two personal meetings, we could see an exchange of goals scored. The defense of Mainz and Borussia regularly allows itself to fail and it is unlikely that one of them will be able to play to zero today. Moreover, everything is fine in the attack, the teams score on average more than one goal per match.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.57
Bet on corners
At home, Mainz will clearly try to play first fiddle, which could lead to a large number of corner kicks. Moreover, Borussia have taken fewer corner kicks than their opponents in three of their last four matches.
Prediction: Mainz win on corners with odds of 1.60
