THE PREDICTION

With four games of the 2022/23 Bundesliga season to go, this is a crucial encounter with both sides still having something to play for. Mainz begin this weekend’s round of fixtures sitting a few points and a couple of places outside of the top six and the European spots. Schalke, though, on the other hand, are in the bottom two and the relegation places but not quite adrift just yet. The visitors have won two of their last three but both victories were at home. A double chance bet in favour of Mainz looks the way to go for this one.
