Best Tip: Both teams to score

Mainz should have reason to feel positive ahead of this match and, funnily enough, so might Leverkusen. The bookmakers see them as well matched and so do we – there's no clear winner in this fixture. So our tip looks to the both teams to score market, where there's far more reason to be certain. The form stats, past head-to-head (H2H) records and bookmakers odds below are all pointing towards both sides scoring, and that's the bet we'd recommend you go with.
