Head-to-Head Meetings

The last meeting between 'Freiburg' and 'Mainz' took place on 1st October 2022. 'Freiburg' emerged victorious with a 2:1 scoreline.

Prediction

Despite the difference in league positions, this match can be quite competitive since 'Mainz' is battling for survival and desperately needs points. However, I would still risk betting on 'Freiburg' to pull a win, given 'Mainz's woeful away form, reeling from loss to loss.

Total Goals Prediction

I expect the teams to struggle in front of goal, hence my bet would be on less than 3.5 total goals.
