Bayer Leverkusen head into this Bundesliga clash in strong form, having won their last two league matches, including an impressive 2–0 victory over RB Leipzig. They have scored four goals across those wins while keeping clean sheets in both games. Patrik Schick has been particularly dangerous, scoring in four consecutive Bundesliga matches, making him a major threat against Mainz. The hosts, meanwhile, are still searching for their first home win of the season and have struggled to turn home performances into points. Leverkusen have also not lost away to Mainz since 2022, giving them another reason for confidence. With their recent results and Schick’s consistent goalscoring form, Bayer Leverkusen to win is the betting angle we like here.
