For Mainz, qualifying for a UEFA competition would be like winning the Bundesliga title. The White and Reds are currently four points behind sixth place, which grants a ticket for the Conference League. As for SC Freiburg, the White and Blacks are seven points behind the team atop the standings, meaning they can’t afford to lose.
Freiburg is offering a +235 price in the sportsbook to win straight up.
Mainz On a Roll
Mainz is one of the four Bundesliga teams that haven’t lost in their last five matches, and no, Bayern Munich isn’t on the list. Most recently, the White and Reds came from behind to draw 1-1 to Hertha Berlin. Not bad, considering the game was on the road and the home side finished with five more shots in total.
During that span, it defeated more traditional teams like Bayern Leverkusen and Borussia Monchengladbach. Plus, it scored in all five games and finished with a clean sheet twice. Mainz has been a really nice surprise this season.
Mainz is also doing slightly better when playing at home, which is why it comes in as the soccer betting favorite at +115, winning its last four home games with a 13-3 aggregate.
Make sure to keep an eye on Marcus Ingvartsen and Karim Onisiwo, who are the team’s top scorers with eight goals.
Freiburg Top Priority
Midweek, Freiburg got eliminated from the UEFA Europa League after losing 2-0 to Juventus, which means finishing in the Bundesliga top four has become its top priority. The club also remains alive in the DFB Pokal but is a huge online gambling underdog for the quarterfinals against Bayern Munich.
Regarding the Bundesliga, Freiburg defeated Hoffenheim 2-1 in their last match. Ritsu Doan saved the day with a late goal in the second half. Doan is having a great season, but not as much as Vincenzo Grifo and Michael Gregoritsch. Grifo is the team’s top scorer with 12 goals, while Gregoritsch has scored eight.
Freiburg plays better at home but managed to finish with a clean sheet in its last two road games, and a victory on Sunday could boost it up to the third place, which should be enough motivation to go all-in right from the start.
