Prediction: 2-1
Bayer Leverkusen
Mainz will be aiming to build on a thrilling 4-1 win over Bochum when they welcome Bayer Leverkusen to the Mewa Arena on Saturday. That result moved them closer to a potential European spot, and with confidence high, the hosts will be determined to keep the momentum going. Die Nullfunfer have no fresh injury concerns, allowing them to field a strong lineup once again.
Leverkusen, on the other hand, have little to play for in this final round and looked off the pace in their 4-2 home defeat to Borussia Dortmund last weekend. Xabi Alonso’s men are also dealing with several absences, with Hermoso, Mukiele, Terrier, and Belocian all sidelined through injury, which further weakens their chances. Given Mainz’s current form and Leverkusen’s lack of motivation, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up vital three points from Saturday's encounter.
