Mainz vs. Leverkusen betting tip & prediction: Is Bayer 04 already in vacation mode?

Will Mainz keep the Bulls at bay and BVB on their toes?

How do we start in the Mainz - Leverkusen betting tip? Bayer 04 has had a motivation problem for weeks now. Only one of the last five league games ended with a win. The players are still trying hard, but the absolute will seems to be lacking. FSV Mainz 05 clearly have the greater motivation. Because in the Mainz - Leverkusen prediction we want to look at FSV's big chance. Mainz can still reach the Europa League, or at least the Conference League, with a win. This would be a great success for a club that was almost relegated last season. On Saturday, May 17, 2025 (3:30 p.m.), Mainz and Leverkusen will meet on the pitch of the Mewa Arena. Together, the clubs will host the 34th matchday of Bundesliga 1. The match can be watched individually on Sky or in the Mega Conference.

That's how Mainz played last time!

A look at the last five matchdays shows a mixed phase: After the 2-0 defeat in Hoffenheim, Mainz drew 2-2 at home against Wolfsburg. This was followed by a clear setback in the 3-0 defeat in Munich, before the team stabilized again in the 1-1 draw against Frankfurt. However, the team was particularly convincing on matchday 33, when they achieved a clear 4-1 away win in Bochum. The offense regained its effectiveness in decisive moments. Nevertheless, it should be noted that the team has only managed to win once recently - a point that should be taken into account when choosing a sports betting strategy.

How good is Leverkusen's current form?

Bayer 04 Leverkusen are in second place with 68 points and have one of the best offenses in the league with 70 goals. In the last five games, they have only managed one win with three draws and one defeat. The most recent game, a 2-2 draw in Freiburg, underlines the team's inconsistent form at the end of the season. Despite a decent points haul in recent weeks, their form does not appear to be consistent. According to our Mainz - Leverkusen betting tip, it is noticeable that Bayer 04 have been particularly vulnerable defensively of late - especially in the home game against Dortmund, which they lost 4-2. This instability in the final phase of the season could provide Mainz with an opportunity, especially as both teams still have something at stake.

That's how Leverkusen played last time!

Leverkusen's last five away games give hope of a strong season finale: three wins and two draws with not a single defeat speak for themselves. It is particularly noteworthy that Leverkusen scored more successfully away from home than at home - something that should not be overlooked in the preparation for this clash. The team also remained stable in Freiburg in a 2-2 draw, but again showed defensive problems in the final phase. Anyone looking for reliable betting tips for the final matchday should keep a close eye on the contrast between the Werkself's home and away performances.

H2H comparison of Mainz vs. Leverkusen

A look at the H2H statistics shows a clear trend in favor of Bayer Leverkusen: The team has won 21 of the previous meetings, while Mainz has prevailed 12 times. Five games ended in draws. Looking only at Mainz's home games against Leverkusen, it is noticeable that the visitors are also slightly ahead here: Ten away wins compared to seven home wins, with a single draw. This makes Leverkusen an unpleasant opponent for Mainz - especially in their own stadium. However, given their unbeaten run at home in the last five games, the club from the Rheinhessen could hope to break the negative trend against this opponent.
