Freiburg vs Mainz Prediction & Betting tips
The first game of Sunday in the Bundesliga is between SC Freiburg and FSV Mainz 05. The visitors have a great need for points – Mainz is the last player after seven rounds.
Freiburg:
SC Freiburg lost for the third time this season two weeks ago. Die Breisgauer had no easy task, with the away match against RB Leipzig. In ninety minutes, the South Germans were clearly inferior to the title contender, which resulted in a 3-0 loss. In itself this is not directly the end of the world; Freiburg has to get its points in other competitions. For example in that of Sunday, at home against low flyer Mainz 05.
“It will be an important game on Sunday, we don’t have to be secretive about that,” said Christian Streich, the Freiburg trainer, at the preparatory press conference. “I really hope we play a good game and reward ourselves.” Guus Til, who has been hired by Freiburg from Spartak Moscow, is still waiting for his first minutes of play for Freiburg. The midfielder is now fit again. He will probably start on the couch on Sunday.
Mainz 05:
FSV Mainz 05 is the weakest performing team at the highest German level so far. After seven games, the club is on a meager point. If you want to look at it very positively: there is an upward trend. After six defeats, a point was taken for the first time two weeks ago. In the home match against FC Schalke 04, Mainz drew 2-2. It looked like they were on their way to victory, but a late own goal by Jeremiah St. Juste prevented Mainz from taking the three points.
Mainz is in a bad state after seven match days, but points can probably be picked up in the coming weeks. The opponents in the upcoming rounds are not of the highest level. For example, after Sunday’s game, duels with TSG Hoffenheim, Arminia Bielefeld and 1. FC Köln await. For Sunday, trainer Jan-Moritz Lichte does not have Danny Latza at his disposal, who already collected five yellow cards in this still young season. St. Juste is normally in the base, just like Jean-Paul Boëtius.
