Match preview

Mainz host Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga on 18 October 2025. Mainz sit 10th on 39 points and Bayer Leverkusen are 6th on 56. Mainz have won 1 of their last 5 (DLWLL), while Bayer Leverkusen have won 2 of 5 (DDWDW). In their last 2 meetings, Mainz won 0, Bayer Leverkusen won 1 and 1 ended level. These are probabilities from past results, not guarantees: football upsets happen every week.

How this is worked out

Each club has an Elo rating that moves after every result (bigger wins move it more, home sides get a small boost). We turn the rating gap into expected goals and use a Poisson model to get win, draw and loss chances. The prediction is locked at kick-off and never edited.

Probabilities, not promises. For analysis and entertainment only. 18+.
