Live on ESPN: Sun 16.30: Mainz’s whirlwind start to the campaign is faltering but at 13/8 (Betdaq) they can get it ontrack against Schalke.
Nobody expected Mainz to win the opening 7 matches of the season but times have changed and have now won just 2 in 6 and yet hold on to 2nd place, 10 points away from the rampant Dortmund.
Schalke come to town as 15/8 slight outsiders (Betfred) and look to reverse an awful 5-0 loss at Kaiserslautern but could have some trouble; Mainz impressed against Nurnberg 2 weeks ago.
Fortunes have flipped on their heads since then as Schalke closed out Bayern 2-0 and Mainz lost in Frankfurt but the home side should find their heads back at their own ground and 5/6 (bet365) about Mainz to win on the ‘draw no bet’ market could be a good thing and they are 11/4 to score 2 goals and 8/1 to grab 3 (both 888sport).
