Mainz vs Rosenborg Prediction and Expert Tips

Mainz vs Rosenborg Match Preview

Rosenberg Norwegian side stunned German side Mainz in Europa Conference League final first leg by earning a 2-1 victory. Other than the winning performance, the more impressive was their attack with outstanding accuracy. They had more than a dozen shots against 3-4-3 Mainz side and eight among them were on target.

Mainz also attempted a dozen of attempts but four alone found their way to the target. Those who were excluding the prospects of Rosenborg in the first leg were proved wrong by the Norwegian team. But being the fittest rival wont be sufficient as this time they travel to Germany to tackle the Mainz.

This loss was a setback of great proportions for the Mainz team as their well maintained nine-match unbeaten run got shattered with it. Bo Henriksen’s worry would be on both offence and defence since they were not impressive in the first leg as well against a dark horse like Rosenborg. A sound, dominating win over Rosenborg would be the aim of Henriksen on Thursday. They need to get one such to survive this campaign in fact. So, Mewa Arena will see an intriguing showdown to the ECL qualifiers of Mainz on Thursday.

Mainz vs Rosenborg Prediction

A home win in the first leg doesn’t stop the Swedish coach Alfred Johansson from resting. His examination will be more challenging while away. Aside from the Mainz test, it has been some time since Rosenborg produced a promising streak streak of away victories. Seven unsuccessful games in the past 10 away trips reflects their inconsistency and the remarkable thing about it is that only the match against Hammarby and Banga stands out among the rest as the rest were Norwegian Eliteserien matches.

Mainz broke a 15-match home unbeaten run with a 0-1 Bundesliga loss against FC Koln. It would have been special if this is a match against a formidable opponent like Crystal Palace. But in this case, they have a fragile Norwegian Rosenborg who have been having a tough time even in their home games.

The one-goal lead is not a significant concern for the home side Mainz. But to have a 2-1 and win this match will not be their aim. Anticipating a good match with Mainz scoring more than 2.5 goals but their defense still appears porous to us. Three against one of Rosenborg is the score we anticipate to achieve in this match. This selection also entail a high-scoring and both teams scoring chance. The first leg was one and this has the quality to be another one like that on paper.
