Both clubs enter the cup with contrasting recent league fortunes – Krieschow’s recent form is unavailable, while Mainz have bounced back from a heavy 1‑3 loss to Union Berlin with a 2‑0 win at Heidenheim. The swing in Mainz’s league form hints at a team eager to restore confidence in the knockout competition.

Robbo's Verdict

Lean

FSV Mainz 05 to win Won Slight lean Lean · Slight edge

The model assigns Mainz a 38.4% chance of winning versus Krieschow’s 36.1%, reflecting the marginal xG advantage and recent league bounce‑back.

Show the maths

The model’s win probability for Mainz (38.4%) exceeds Krieschow’s (36.1%) by 2.3 percentage points, driven by Mainz’s higher expected goals of 1.40 against Krieschow’s 1.35. The narrow xG gap tips the probability toward the visitors, while the draw sits at 25.5%, leaving a clear, albeit modest, advantage for Mainz to secure the win.

Pick 2 · Both Teams to Score

Both Teams to Score — Yes Lost 55.8% model probability

With Krieschow averaging 1.35 expected goals and FSV Mainz 05 averaging 1.4, the model gives a 55.8% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 44.2% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

Show the maths

BTTS probability is derived from each side's expected goals (Krieschow 1.35, FSV Mainz 05 1.4) run through the same Poisson goal-expectancy model used for the match result: 55.8% of simulated outcomes have both teams scoring at least once, versus 44.2% where at least one side is shut out.

Pick 3 · Total Goals

Over 2.5 Goals Won 51.9% model probability

Combined expected goals of 2.8 (Krieschow 1.35 + FSV Mainz 05 1.4) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 51.9% chance against 48.1% for Under.

Show the maths

Total goals probability comes from the same Poisson model summing both teams' expected goals (Krieschow 1.35 + FSV Mainz 05 1.4 = 2.8 combined): 51.9% of simulated outcomes finish with 3 or more goals, versus 48.1% finishing with 2 or fewer.
