Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Freiburg welcome Mainz to the Europa-Park Stadion, where the hosts have turned their ground into a fortress, already securing three home wins this season. Despite injury setbacks, with Kenneth Schmidt, Jordy Makengo, Manuel Gulde, Merlin Rohl, and Daniel-Kofi Kyereh unavailable, Julian Schuster's men have displayed resilience at home. Freiburg’s organized defence and disciplined midfield have been the backbone of their strong form on home turf.
Mainz, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs, experiencing mixed results recently. The visitors are also dealing with injuries to key players like Nadiem Amiri, Jonathan Burkardt, Andreas Hanche-Olsen, and Nikolas Veratschnig, which could further hinder their chances against a solid Freiburg side. Considering that Freiburg have been producing fine performances at their Europa-Park Stadion this term, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed.
