Mainz 05 vs St. Pauli Prediction

Mainz 05 Form

In their last three matches, Mainz 05 drew 1-1 with Lech Poznan before recording another draw with Bayern Munich in a 2-2 match and beat Samsunspor with a 2-0 scoreline. Mainz 05 did not win any of their last six Bundesliga matches at the MEWA Arena. They came through these matches with a record of two draws and two defeats, in which they conceded six and scored six goals.

A mid-table finish seemed likely for Mainz 05 but in current form they could be dragged into a relegation battle.

St. Pauli Form

St. Pauli are unbeaten in their last three matches, first beating Borussia Moenchengladbach by 1-2. This was followed by a 1-1 with FC Koln and a 2-1 win against FC Heidenheim. St. Pauli didn't manage a single away win in their last six Bundesliga matches, but managed one draws, while suffering five defeats. They conceded 11 and scored three goals themselves.

Aiming for a mid-table finish St. Pauli would require a quick upturn in form to achieve even that.

Mainz 05 find it just as tough as St. Pauli to get on the scoreboard these days, and a match short on goal looks highly likely, when they clash at MEWA Arena.

Mainz 05 won four points from their last three encounters with teams from the bottom six, like their upcoming opponent. They won one, scored five and let in six goals. St. Pauli earned nine points from their last three games against teams placed in the bottom six of the Bundesliga table. They scored six goals in those matches, but also allowed two goals against on their way to three wins. Mainz 05 have so far been able to win just once after 14 Bundesliga games played, in stead showing off four draws and nine defeats.
