The model callOver 3.5Total goals2.10★★★★2 stars

We should see plenty of goals at the MEWA Arena because both sides have been winning matches recently while scoring regularly. The price of 2.10 on over 3.5 goals offers decent value given their recent form.

Why it might land
  • Mainz enter this fixture after putting together a strong run of form that includes three wins and a draw from their last five outings.
  • Bayer Leverkusen have also shown plenty of attacking intent recently by picking up three wins and a draw in their own five most recent matches.
  • The bookmakers offer an appealing price of 2.10 for the match total to go over the 3.5 goals line on Saturday afternoon.
Why it might not
  • Mainz did suffer a defeat against Leverkusen in their recent sequence which proves the visitors can shut them down completely.
  • Bayer Leverkusen dropped their most recent match and might approach this away fixture with extra defensive caution.

Edge Analysis

In depth
The matchup

The market makes Bayer Leverkusen the side to beat here at 41%, but only just, so this reads as a close call rather than a mismatch. Our model lands on Over 3.5, and it backs that with a 2 units stake. We should see plenty of goals at the MEWA Arena because both sides have been winning matches recently while scoring regularly. The price of 2.10 on over 3.5 goals offers decent value given their recent form.

Form and momentum

Mainz come in patchy, winning 32% of 38 on record. 4 of their 19 home games went their way, and the numbers point to a fairly even scoring record. Right now they are on 1 win in a row.

Bayer Leverkusen come in solid, winning 48% of 40 on record. 9 of their 21 away games went their way, and the numbers point to a side that scores freely. Right now they are on 2 wins in a row.

The price and the value

The prices turn into 34% for M05, 25% for the draw and 41% for B04 once the bookmaker margin is stripped out. There is little between the two in the market, so the edge, if there is one, sits in the detail rather than the headline price. Our call sits at 2.10, and we only stake it because the reasons for it outweigh the reasons against.

When these two meet

Across 2 past meetings B04 have had the better of it, 1 wins to 0, with 1 drawn. Squads change, so read it as colour rather than proof.

Where it could go wrong
  • Mainz did suffer a defeat against Leverkusen in their recent sequence which proves the visitors can shut them down completely.
  • Bayer Leverkusen dropped their most recent match and might approach this away fixture with extra defensive caution.
The bottom line

We back Over 3.5 for 2 units. It settles itself when the game ends, win or lose, and it goes on the record either way. This is an opinion read off the form and the prices on this page, not advice, and never a promise of a result.

Old meetings are worth less than they look. Squads change, managers change, and a result from two seasons ago tells you almost nothing about this one.

Goals in Mainz v Leverkusen?

Both teams are scoring for fun right now and over 3.5 goals at 2.10 looks decent value. Leverkusen shut them out in the recent head to head though so it might not be that simple. What are you lot back...
