Bayer Leverkusen vs Mainz Prediction and Betting Tips | January 14th 2025

The action continues in round 17 of German Bundesliga as Bayer Leverkusen play host to Mainz at the BayArena on Tuesday. Both sides head into the game in fine form, with Xabi Alonso’s men seeking an 11th win on the bounce across all competitions.

Bayer Leverkusen ensured they remain within touching distance of Bayern Munich at the top of the Bundesliga table as they secured a 3-2 victory over Borussia Dortmund on Friday.

Alonso’s side have now won each of their last 10 matches across all competitions, including back-to-back victories over Salzburg and Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League.

Bayer Leverkusen have picked up 35 points from their 16 Bundesliga games to sit second in the league standings, four points behind first-placed Bayern Munich.

Mainz, on the other hand, maintained their fine run of results in the league last weekend as they secured a 2-0 victory over Bochum at MEWA Arena.

Bo Henriksen’s men have now picked up three wins on the bounce, scoring seven goals and conceding twice, and have won six of their last seven games since November 9.

With 28 points from 16 matches, Main are currently fifth in the Bundesliga standings but could move into third place with all three points on Tuesday.
