Mainz vs Sigma Olomouc Prediction & Betting Tips (19 March)

Although it did not manage to take the advantage last week on the field of Sigma Olomouc 0-0 despite an overall domination in the game, this Mainz team still finds itself in a favorable waiver before the return since it will have the leisure to be able to count on the support of its public. 7th in the regular season, the Germans did not need to go through the play-offs to advance to the 1/8 finals. Rather comfortable in Europe, FSV encounters much more difficulties in the league where it only occupies 15th place in the ranking before facing Werder Bremen on Sunday. Before this match, Mainz remained on 3 draws conceded against Hamburg 1-1, Bayer 1-1 and Stuttgart 2-2. For its part, Sigma Olomouc preserved the essentials last week by preserving its cage from German assaults 0-0.

But the hardest part now begins for this surprising Czech team who were able to get the Swiss out of Lausanne in the play-offs thanks to their 1-2 return victory after holding off the first leg 1-1. During the league phase, this team only took the final 24th place in the ranking, therefore snatching its place for the rest of the competition by the wire. In the championship, Sigma Olomouc is fighting for a place in the top 4. Winners of its last 3 matches, it faces Karvina on Sunday. 

Mainz will approach this match without the starting goalkeeper Zentner, the potentially starting defenders Hanche-Olsen and Caci (ex-Strasbourg), the unused Bos and the unfortunate attacker Hollerbach who are still out of shape. In addition to this, the potentially starting defender Bell and especially the midfielder Amiri (10 goals, 2 assists in the Bundesliga) are also injured at the moment while the winter recruit Becker, starting in the championship during the last two matches, is not on the list of players authorized to play this game.

Striker Tietz (Augsburg, 2 goals since his arrival) will therefore have to try to shine just like the Korean Jae-Sung Lee.
