Mainz vs Rosenborg Prediction & Betting Tips (28 August)

The German club of Mainz made a hard life by losing the first round outside by scoring, however, in the first 2-1 defeat. Now Mainz finds himself in the obligation to win this match for a minimum return to the brand. It will also be necessary to avoid conceding a goal under penalty of having to score twice. Small downside, scoring 2 goals per game was not in the Red and White strings in the first three official games this year. Indeed, in the German Cup, it was a short success against the modest opposition of the Dynamo Dresden 0-1 and in the championship last weekend, reduced to ten, it was a defeat that was written at home against Cologne 0-1. Obviously different for Rosenborg who did the work by winning in the first leg 2-1.

It remains to be seen whether the Norwegian club will be able to put the cover on the road, where it has only won 2 of its last 6 games in all competitions. Mine de rien, dans ces éliminatoires, pour le moment, Rosenborg n'a pas perdu une rencontre 4 victoires, 1 match nul. In the previous round, he released Hammarby 1-0 at the cumulation of the two games. In the league, in order to preserve its chances of qualification, no match was scheduled last weekend and this for three weeks now. With 30 points, Rosenborg occupies 5th row of the elite with a late day on the Bodo/Glimt. 

Author of 9 achievements with the Union Berlin last season, Benedict Hollerbach hit the eye of Mainz leaders enough to align the 10 million requested. However, a priori holder today, he went out prematurely on league injury against Cologne and strongly uncertain to hold his rank today. The young talents Maxim Dal and Daniel Gleiber are injured and forced to declare for this 2nd round. The tricolor Nordin (Montpellier) recruit is committed to the club this summer like the defender Schopp (Sturm Graz), the Kawasaki (Kyoto Sanga) and the left side Bos (Melbourne Victory). Forced for many weeks, Noah Sahsah (arrived from Copenhagen) will not participate in this trip to the Mewa Arena.

During the transfer window, the crucial Marius Broholm (5 league goals) signed in favor of Lille. It is one of the unique important departures. Recently, Rosenborg's thinking heads opted for the transfers of David Duris from Zilina (no playing time to date) and offensives Konradsen (Sassuolo) and Nortlli (Randers). On the outward journey, it was the excellent Dino Islamovic (8 goals in the league) who relaunched his partners in the game while Ole Saeter, a scorer out of the bench allowed his teammates to win the Channel.
