Our prediction for the match Mainz vs Bayer
Last season, the team from Mewa Arena reached almost a full-fledged fight for survival. Still, the appropriate coach’s appointment made it possible to improve the performance, and the club finally took 13th place with 35 points. Well, the triumph in Leverkusen is simply impossible to forget: without losing, being previously a chronic loser, the team made a “golden double”.
Xabi Alonso stayed, but added only the Super Cup to his trophies. Bayern crossed the path twice: the team lost without a chance in the play-offs of the Champions League, and had been hopelessly behind the favourite in the Bundesliga by the middle of spring. The cup meeting in Munich was won, but there it all ended with a shocking relegation from the humble participant, Arminia. Speaking about the previous round, where the club competed with Borussia Dortmund, it lost again on the native field, and there the Spanish specialist officially announced his retirement. Bo Henriksen and his wards again began to be listed among the applicants for a ticket to the European competition. Still, away defeats and home draws alternated since the middle of March. A 4-1 result in the confrontation with Bochum made it possible to meet the last round in 6th place. RB Leipzig has got the same number of points.
To a large extent, the current team has got 1.61 goals scored and 1.24 goals conceded due to Burkardt’s performance. The already ex-champion’s statistics are still impressive: 2.12 goals scored and 1.24 goals conceded.
