Freiburg vs Mainz 05 Prediction

Freiburg Form

In the last three outings, Freiburg beat St. Pauli by 2-1, lost 6-2 against Bayern Munich, before drawing 0-0 with Viktoria Plzen. Freiburg only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Bundesliga matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew two and lost two, as they scored ten and conceded 11 goals.

Dreaming of the Bundesliga title, Freiburg are currently too far behind budget, so to speak, to seriously stake a claim at first place.

Mainz 05 Form

Mainz 05 were only able to take a single draw from their past three games. They came up short in a 1-0 defeat against Eintracht Frankfurt before drawing 1-1 with Hoffenheim. They were defeated once again, when Universitatea Craiova ran out 1-0 winners. In their last six away matches in the Bundesliga, Mainz 05 won twice, while also recording one draw. They endured three defeats in this run, with a scoreline from these matches saying ten goals conceded and ten scored.

Mainz 05 entered the season dreaming of medals, but find themselves far off track following a lousy run of form.

There was no winner the three times, Freiburg played Mainz 05, as both apparently have a strong read on the game plan of this particular opponent. No doubt, the draw once again makes an appealing bet.

Freiburg recorded three points following one wins from their last two games against teams placed among the bottom six. They scored three goals, but also conceded four. Freiburg claimed three wins, four draws as well as four defeats in the Bundesliga this season. Mainz 05 have a record of one win, three draws and seven defeats in the Bundesliga.
