Mainz have gained five points in four matches played so far. The German side took 3-2 win over Gabala, drew with Saint-Etienne and Anderlecht, both 1-1, and lost the most recent game to the Belgian side, 1-6. Another away fixture will be the first for the team after they got thrashed in Belgium and the outcome of this matchup will have crucial influence of team’s position in the end of the group stage.
Considering successful results of the hosts in matches at own stadium and recent failures of Mainz in games on the road, we should expect Saint-Etienne to prevail in the match and clinch one of two spots of the group.
Prediction for the match: Saint-Etienne to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
