Mainz take on the visitors Schalke at “Opel Arena” in the matchday 25 of the Bundesliga. The match will be played on Sunday, March 19th.
Mainz lack consistency after winter break. Team's results in recent three matches are the good proof of it: 2:0 win vs. Bayer Leverkusen, 1:1 draw vs. Wolfsburg and 1:2 defeat vs. Darmstadt. As a result, “Karnevalsverein” occupy the 12th place in the Bundesliga with 29 points and 33-40 goal difference and are only three points ahead of the teams in relegation zone. Mainz played 12 matches on their own turf taking 19 points with the positive goal difference 22-18.

Schalke 04 earned confident 3:0 win vs. FC Augsburg in their last home match. But Schalke have indistinct season so far occupying just the 11th place with 30 points. Schalke quite rarely take points on the road, recording only one win and taking seven points in 11 matches with 9-16 goal difference. At the moment Weinzierl's team recorded their first and the only 1:0 win on the away turf vs. Wolfsburg on November, 19th taking only two points in five matches on the road in the Bundesliga since that victory.
Teams swopped home wins in five recent head-to-heads. I believe that the home field advantage will be essential and hosting side will gain points.
Prediction for the match: Mainz to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
