Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there's no obvious winner in this fixture, but good reason to think Mainz and VfL Bochum will score 2 or more goals between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither Bo Henriksen or Peter Zeidler has suffered the frustration of many 0-0s of late either. The bookies predict over 1.5 goals too, with best odds of 1.20 equating to about a 80% probability.
