Mainz double chance
Mainz are in a terrific home run. They are undefeated in 13 of their last 14 league games at MEWA-Arena.
Although Bayer have kicked off the campaign in abject fashion with four straight defeats, they are still one of the best sides in the league and top contenders for UCL spots.
Mainz not to lose and Total goals over 1.5
The hosts have scored at least 2 goals in 5 of their last 6 league games. So goals can be expected.
Preliminary review and match prediction for Mainz vs Bayer Leverkusen
Indeed, collecting seven points from a possible nine to start their new campaign is a promising start for Mainz. They are one of the six teams, who remain unbeaten in Bundesliga yet, which says it all.
Bo Svensson’s team will face another test this Saturday, as they face Bayer Leverkusen, a side they beat just once in their previous home h2h meetings (L3).
Meanwhile, a positive result in the upcoming match will be enough for the hosts to go undefeated in their first four top-flight fixtures for the first time since 2014/15.
