Prediction 1. FSV Mainz 05 - Bayer 04 Leverkusen today 20:30 10/10/2026.

Mainz 05 is currently on a high with a high win rate (70%) in their last 10 games, including 7 wins, 2 draws, and only 1 loss, demonstrating remarkable stability

Mainz 05 scored 32 goals in 10 matches (an average of 3.2 goals per game) and kept a clean sheet in 6 matches, demonstrating superior attacking strength and solid defensive capabilities.

Key players such as Seraldo Becker (4 matches, 2 goals, 3 assists) and Phillip Tietz (4 matches, 4 goals, 7 shots on target) delivered impressive performances, playing a pivotal role in the team's style of play.

Mainz 05 maintains good control of the game with an average of 5.0 corners per match and upholds match discipline with only 11 yellow cards (no red cards) in 10 matches.

Mainz 05 is currently in 6th place in the Bundesliga 2026-2027 table with 7 points from 4 matches, demonstrating a consistent ability to compete for points but not enough to guarantee a secure position.

The goal difference of Mainz 05 is +4, reflecting an aggressive attacking style but also indicating that defensive vulnerabilities are not too severe in matches that have goals.

Mainz 05 is missing several key players such as goalkeeper Robin Zentner (hand injury), defender Silvan Widmer (knee injury), and midfielder Dominik Kohr (leg injury), causing difficulties for the coach in rotating the squad and maintaining the playing style.

Despite several decisive victories (5-0, 4-0), some of these wins may reflect the opponents' weaknesses, so caution is needed when assessing their ability to maintain performance in higher-level tournaments.

Mainz 05 has not shown their mettle in important matches, as evidenced by their unstable form (WLWD) and a clean sheet rate that only reaches 50% in their wins

Leverkusen is experiencing a successful period with a high win rate (70%) in their last 10 matches, including three consecutive wins against strong opponents such as Union Berlin and Leipzig, demonstrating stability and the ability to maintain their form.

Leverkusen averages 2.4 goals per game (24 goals in 10 games) along with 5 clean sheets, demonstrating superior attacking power and stable defensive capabilities, especially when playing in the Bundesliga.

Leverkusen has a 50% chance of both teams scoring (BTTS) and a 50% chance of keeping a clean sheet, reflecting the inconsistency in their defensive play, especially when facing opponents with strong counter-attacking capabilities.

A rate of 11 yellow cards per match (an average of 1.1 per match) indicates that emotional control is not very good, but not enough to seriously affect the match results.

Recent overall performance has fluctuated between wins, draws, and losses, with two heavy losses (2-3 and 1-2) and one draw, showing a certain level of instability in some matches.

Leverkusen has suffered heavy defeats in their last two matches, specifically losing 2-3 to Elversberg and 1-2 to Nottingham, highlighting their vulnerability when they play without focus or face overly strong opponents.

Loss of personnel due to injuries of key players such as Nathan Tella (absent for 5 games), Montrell Culbreath (absent for 8 games), and K. Eichhorn (absent for 11 games) has created a gap in the midfield and attack, especially when Patrik Schick is not playing

Despite having 7 wins, the absence of substitute options in midfield and attack could make Leverkusen struggle to maintain long-term stability, especially in tense matches.
