Mainz 05 and Freiburg meet at MEWA Arena, Mainz on Saturday, Dec 12 at 3:30 PM with both clubs firmly in the mix for the European places in the Bundesliga. Just 3 points separate them in the standings.
Mainz 05 come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 1D 1L). Freiburg, meanwhile, arrive in good form (3W 1D 0L recently) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.
Despite playing at home, Mainz 05 face a side that has dominated this fixture historically. Freiburg have won 4 of 10 encounters, with 6 draws. Their last encounter ended in Freiburg won 1–0.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Mainz 05 a slight edge, but Freiburg are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
