The German football teams Mainz and Bayer Leverkusen are meeting this Saturday, after almost five months.
Last time they met was last year, on the 20th of October, when the match ended in a 2-2 draw. In that game, Stefan Kiessling offered the hosts the lead, after scoring the first goal in the 43rd minute. However, shortly after the break, the balanced on the scoring table was reestablished when Adam Szalai nudged the cross of Zdenek beyond Bernd Leno, straight into the corner of the net. After Marcel Risse scored the third goal of the match and Gonzalo Castro the fourth one, only 3 minutes before the end of the game, there was nothing left to do: a perfectly balanced match ended with a perfectly balanced score.
Before that match, the German teams have also met on the 22nd of January, when Leverkusen achieved a superb 3-2 victory over their neighbors. More than superb, that a legendary match which provided Bayer with 7 points and elevated them in the charts of the Champions League.
On the other hand, unfortunately for Mainz, they have transcending a regression path in the last period. Here you can the way they have been evolving and the results from the most important matches.
All in all, I think Bayer Leverkusen could win this match relatively comfortable, even if Mainz have their chances too. So I am going to bet 4 units on the victory of Bayer Leverkusen at 2.40. The odds were taken from William Hill.
