SC Freiburg vs FSV Mainz 05 prediction 2024-04-21
Freiburg and Mainz take on each other at Europa-Park Stadion in the closing match of the Bundesliga round 30. Christian Streich’s men quickly bounced back from a heavy 4-1 loss to Leipzig, with the team beating Darmstadt thanks to Ritsu Doan’s goal and a win over Mainz will see them stay in the Conference League race. Lucas Holer is back from suspension, whilst all Philipp Lienhart, Matthias Ginter, Noah Weishaupt, Kenneth Schmidt, and Daniel-Kofi Kyereh should miss out with injuries. Roland Sallai is banned for the match.
Die Nullfunfer, on the other hand, proved their worth in back-to-back wins over Darmstadt (4-0) and Hoffenheim (4-1), but given their ups and downs on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw.

Revisiting the Rich Histories of SC Freiburg and FSV Mainz 05
Football, winners and losses, triumphs and ups and downs. This article takes you on a journey through the histories of two remarkable German clubs, SC Freiburg and FSV Mainz 05. From their humble beginnings, these clubs have etched their names into the tapestry of world soccer, boasting a rich and eventful history. Let’s explore their origins, significant milestones, and notable athletes that made news on and off the field until 2021.
The Evolution of SC Freiburg
SC Freiburg was born in 1904, emerging from the amalgamation of two Freiburg-based clubs. While they might not boast the glittering trophy cabinet of some of their Bundesliga contemporaries, SC Freiburg has been a consistent presence in the German top-flight. They earned the nickname 'Breisgau-Brasilianer' (Breisgau Brazilians) due to their attractive, attacking style of play. SC Freiburg's fans are known for their loyalty and enthusiasm, particularly in their home stadium, the Schwarzwald-Stadion.
Their journey into top-flight football began in the 90s, marked by the coaching genius of Volker Finke. His 16-year tenure saw SC Freiburg secure a place in the Bundesliga and a shot at European competition. Player-turned-coach Christian Streich has since helped them navigate through many challenges and built a team known for nurturing young talent and delivering stunning performances.
The Rise and Shine of FSV Mainz 05
FSV Mainz 05 has its roots dated back to 1905, starting as a table tennis and gymnastics club before including football as their main sport. The carnival club, as it is affectionately called due to Mainz’s longstanding tradition of carnival, now hosts its games at the Opel Arena, with its loyal fans known for their ever vibrant and passionate support.
The team became a familiar name within the Bundesliga in the early 2000s under the guidance of now famous coach, Jürgen Klopp. Klopp, who has since achieved international success, engineered the club’s promotion into the Bundesliga and led them to the UEFA Cup. Since then, the club has established itself as a regular in the German top-flight, known for their never-say-die attitude and eye-catching attacking football.
Legendary Players That Made an Impact
Over the years, both clubs have hosted some amazing talent. For SC Freiburg, names like Joachim Löw, who later managed Germany to their 2014 FIFA World Cup victory, and Papiss Cisse, who was a prolific striker for the club and later in the English Premier League, come to mind. On the other hand, FSV Mainz 05 has seen exceptional talents like André Schürrle, who scored a substantial number of goals for the club before enjoying a distinguished career elsewhere, and Jürgen Klopp himself, who before managing the team, was a player for over a decade.
Continuous Evolution and Anticipation for What's Next
SC Freiburg and FSV Mainz 05 may not have a history peppered with numerous trophies, but they indeed boast resilience, dedication, and passion that resonate in the heart of their fans and within the annals of football history. Their journey until 2021 has been a testament to this tenacity and love for the beautiful game. As we look forward to their future performances, one cannot help but anticipate their games with bated breath, wondering what new history they will write.
