Freiburg vs. Mainz: Match Prediction
At home, Freiburg performs with mixed success, yet they usually have no issues in attack. In the last ten home Bundesliga matches, the club has never left the field without scoring, with Freiburg players finding the net at least twice in half of these games. On the other hand, the team has not managed a single clean sheet in this period.
Mainz does not always showcase their best in away encounters, but the club occasionally displays vibrant attacking play. In the last six away league matches, the team failed to score only twice, netting a total of ten goals. However, Mainz's defense cannot be relied upon: the club has not kept a clean sheet in their last 11 away Bundesliga matches.
I anticipate both teams to score in this encounter, so my prediction: Both teams to score – yes
* The starting lineup for each team is based on their previous match in this tournament.
