FORTUNA DUSSELDORF v MAINZ
Friday 30th November 2018 – Kickoff: 2030hrs
Football – Germany – Bundesliga Betting Tips
There’s also action from the German Bundesliga on Friday night with Fortuna Dusseldorf taking on Mainz at their Merkur Spiel-Arena as the betting tips continue.
Since a poor six-match losing streak which saw Fortuna Dusseldorf concede a total of 20 goals which included a 7-1 thrashing by Eintracht Frankfurt, the hosts have bounced back in recent times with a 4-1 heavy defeat of their own over Hertha Berlin at home along with a creditable point away at Bayern Munich in an entertaining 3-3 draw.
Dusseldorf currently occupy one of the automatic relegation spots ahead of this important clash on Friday night but recent results suggest a recovery could be on the cards for the hosts. The home side possess a home record of 2-0-4 8/11 with 5 of the 6 home matches resulting in over 2.5 goals.
Mainz sit mid-table in the Bundesliga which is largely thanks to their results at the OPEL ARENA where they’ve won 3 of their 4 victories so far this season but they suffered a 2-1 defeat at home to Borussia Dortmund last time out.
Although Mainz registered a 3-1 win away at Freiburg last time out on the road, this was only their first away win of the campaign amidst an ordinary record of 1-1-3 4/8 which includes losses at Bayer Leverkusen, Schalke and Borussia Moenchengladbach.
Indeed, Mainz have recorded just 3 wins from their last 28 away matches in the German top flight so the chances of them taking all three points here seem highly unlikely. However, with Fortuna Dusseldorf also unconvincing at home, my betting tips sway towards backing the over 2.5 goals market in this clash.
