Mainz are struggling to qualify for the Eurocup zone, now only 3 points separate the team from the top 6, but Mainz have a very weak game in defence - in 30 games the club has conceded 43 goals. Moreover, even in home games Mainz concede on average more than 1 goal, but also score almost 2 goals.
Schalke still have a chance to keep their place in the Bundesliga, but for that the team need to get lots of points. Now the Pitmen are four points behind the 14th place. Schalke do not score much this season, only 28 goals in 30 games, but, given the weak defense of the Maits, we expect a goal from the visitors today.
Prediction: both teams to score and at least 3 goals to be scored. We recommend the “BTTS - Yes + Over 2.5” bet, odds 1.89
