Freiburg vs Mainz prediction: GERMANY: Bundesliga betting tips on match 2025-11-29 18:30.
[p]Two sides desperately struggling for form collide when Freiburg host Mainz in an intriguing Bundesliga clash between two bottom-half sides.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Freiburg desperately need to find a change in fortunes after winning just one of their last seven Bundesliga games (D4, L2). A paltry total of 13 points from 11 league games is their lowest haul since the 2020/21 campaign, and a disappointing 0-0 UEFA Europa League draw with Viktoria PlzeĆ in midweek will have done little to raise their spirits. That stalemate came on the road, but Julian Schuster’s men have at least shown some better form at home, where theyâre unbeaten in four top-flight home matches (W2, D2). Such a run is sure to inspire some confidence, although whether it can help them overcome a wretched record of one win from their last 13 Sunday-held Bundesliga fixtures or not remains to be seen. [/p]
[p]Mainz could only dream of being in Freiburg’s comparatively prosperous position, as they find themselves languishing in 17th place with only six points heading into matchday 12. That serves as their second-worst start to a Bundesliga campaign ever, and a run of 17 consecutive top-flight seasons could come to an abrupt end if they canât turn things around quickly. A midweek European defeat served as yet another blotch on their record as they fell 1-0 against Universitatea Craiova, and with that also serving as a fourth successive away defeat, theyâre unlikely to relish returning home from Romania to hit the road once more.[/p]
