SCHALKE V MAINZ : PREDICTIONS AND BETTING TIPS goals

Two sides in very good form face each other, as Schalke host Mainz in this Bundesliga game. Schalke (12-4-5) have won five and drew once in their last six, to propel them to fourth in the table. They have a massive week ahead, next midweek a Champions league tie versus Real Madrid, before a visit to Bayern Munich next weekend. Keeping up the good run is a must going into those games, and though this will be no easy game, they should be confident of victory. Mainz (10-3-8) themselves have four wins in their last six, with a draw and just one loss. They are well in contention for Europa places, and so have plenty left to play for themselves. No new injury concerns for either side going into the game, and all is set fair for a cracking match.

Under 2.5 goals at 2.25(5/4)PaddyPower looks good on the goals betting front. Average goals per game are 3.38 for Schalke and 3.14 for Mainz in Bundesliga, but after looking at recent results there are good reasons for wanting to be on under 2.5 goals. Schalkes improved form has come about with added defensive steel as a chief contributor. In their last eight league games they have conceded just three times. Mainz are decent, but will find it tough here, and at 2.25 under 2.5 goals in the game looks worth a bet.
