Schalke 04 – Mainz 05, Prediction – Bundesliga

| Schalke has 2 clean sheets since the beginning of the season in the league

| Mainz also has 2 clean sheets since the beginning of the season in the league

😔 Schalke have come to terms with their fate

Schalke 04 has 9 points from 23 games since the beginning of the season. There are 11 rounds left until the end, and Schalke has 9 points less than the 16th in the standings, i.e. as much as there is at the moment. The team is in a spectacular crisis. One we haven’t seen in decades. Schalke have only 1 victory since the beginning of the season, and their goal difference is staggering – 16 goals scored and 61 conceded. With the difference between the weakest attack and the weakest defense. Schalke will certainly play in the Second Bundesliga next season.

💯 Mainz are obliged to win this match

Mainz have no choice but to win. They have seriously intervened in the battle for survival and are currently 17th ahead of Schalke, but with many more points. Hertha is 15th with 1 more than Arminia. In general, the fate of Mainz will be decided in the next 6-7 matches, when they have clashes with direct competitors, including Cologne and Arminia, because they finally have matches with teams like Bayern and Dortmund.

We expect the guests to throw for the victory and because of that to see goals

 Expert view: If there is a match that they must win and not be satisfied with a draw that applies to both teams, then this is it. The last in the standings against the penultimate. Schalke are “all in” anyway, and Mainz must take advantage of the tragic form of their opponent, who has not lost only 3 of his 12 home games during the season and 2 of them were at the beginning. However, we expect Mainz to concede 1 goal because in defense it is quite bad. Prediction – BTTS at 1.75.
