Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Saturday’s football game at Mewa Arena pits together Mainz and Freiburg, the two teams who are almost level on points in the Bundesliga table. Mainz are eyeing their fourth win of the season, and we are positive that they will adopt yet another attack-minded approach against Freiburg. Denmark international Marcus Ingvartsen is pushing for a start after finding the net in the 2-0 win over Hoffenheim, while Moussa Niakhate is out of contention with injury.
Freiburg, on the other hand, aim to remain undefeated in the 2021/2022 Bundesliga campaign. Christian Streich is still doing a great job with the Dreisamstadion outfit, and given their fine start to the season, we believe that the visitors are going to grab something from the Mewa Arena clash. Midfielder Nicolas Hofler remains on the sidelines with injury, but he should be the only absentee in the away team.
Highlighted Player (Jean-Philippe Mateta):
A talented French youngster Jean-Philippe Mateta worked his way up through football’s less glamorous landscapes plying his trade at local amateur sides and third-tier outfits before Ligue 1 giants Lyon took notice of his 11 goals in 22 matches and brought him to the big league.
Having failed to make it into the first team in a debut season with Les Gones, Mateta was shipped out to Le Havre, leading the club to promotion play-offs. Bundesliga side Mainz took notice of his ability and came calling in the summer of 2018 after he bagged 17 goals in 35 league matches. An imposing physical presence at his 192cm, Mateta is a mobile forward and a decent dribbler who can finish with both of his feet.
Having worked his way up from the very bottom, Jean-Philippe Mateta is a committed individual determined to make a name for himself. His impressive goalscoring record got rewarded in the form of France U19 call-up in 2017.
