JustBet offers Mainz at odds of $12.00 to beat Leverkusen
Bundesliga and English champions leaders Bayer Leverkusen and Leicester will both be in action today (Friday, February 23) as Leverkusen host Mainz and Leicester travels to Leeds in two highly anticipated clashes.
Event # 1 – GER – Bayer Leverkusen vs Mainz – 2:30 PM
Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen will be aiming to break an all-time German record when they welcome Mainz to their Bay Arena.
Leverkusen extended their unbeaten record across all competitions to 32 matches when they defeated Heidenheim 2-1 away last weekend — equalling Bayern Munich’s all-time German football record for the longest unbeaten streak from 2020.
Leverkusen are aiming to win their first-ever Bundesliga title this season and have opened an eight-point gap over reigning champions Bayern Munich. Leverkusen will be confident of extending their unbeaten run, especially at home, where they have not lost any of their last 18 games in all competitions, including 11 straight wins in the Bundesliga this season.
No Bundesliga team has failed to win the title having previously held an eight-point advantage at this stage of the season, so Leverkusen will be confident of winning their first-ever title with 12 games remaining, starting with Mainz who they defeated 3-0 in the reverse fixture earlier this season.
Mainz 11-game winless run ended when they defeated Augsburg 1-0 at home last weekend, securing just their second win of the season. Mainz, who have two daunting trips away in their next two games, starting with Leverkusen, then Bayern Munich, will be hoping to end their miserable form on the road.
Mainz last won a game on the road in April last year and are the only remaining team in the German Bundesliga yet to win an away game this season.
KEY STATS
Bayer Leverkusen – won 3-0 when both teams last met in September and have scored a minimum of three goals in their last four Bundesliga home matches.
Mainz – have failed to win any of their last 10 away matches and have conceded two or more goals in five of their last 10 away matches.
Both sides – Bayer Leverkusen have won seven of their last 10 games against Mainz, with one ending in a draw and Mainz winning the other two games.
The betting Tip. Leverkusen win.
Event # 2 ENC – Leeds vs Leicester – 3:00 PM
Leeds and Leicester will meet in a much-anticipated championship clash today, with the winner moving one step closer to returning to the English Premier League next season. Leeds host the division’s leaders knowing that victory at home will move them back into the Championship title race.
For most of the season, the Championship title race had felt as if it was done and dusted, with Leicester seemingly unstoppable as they relentlessly strung win after win to put themselves in a position where they appear to be coasting to Premier League promotion.
However, eight straight wins by Leeds is threatening to upset the odds, as Leeds are now within nine points of Leicester. Leeds have been relentless since the new year and have conceded just one goal in their eight wins, and now sit second in the league.
Returning to Elland Road, Leeds will be confident of securing another win as they have gone 16 games unbeaten in the league, winning 12 during this run.
While Leeds possess the best home record in the championship, their opponents Leicester possess the best away record, having won 12 of their last 16 away games so far.
The Foxes, Leicester, will be aiming to return to winning ways following a surprise 2-1 home loss to Middlesbrough last time out, which has threatened to make the championship title race interesting, not the least that Leeds won the reverse fixture 1-0 at the King Power Stadium.
Appearing to be running away with the title a few weeks ago, Leicester have dropped eight points in their last seven games which have opened the door for Leeds, who responded with eight straight wins to close the gap to nine points.
However, victory for Leicester would extend their lead to 12-points and it would be difficult to see them being denied the title, with just 12 games remaining in the season.
KEY STATS
Leeds – have won eight consecutive matches on the trot and have won nine of their last 10 home matches in all competitions.
Leicester – are on a four-match unbeaten run against Leeds at their Elland Road Stadium.
Both sides – since 2020, Leeds and Leicester have squared off seven times, six of those games were in the Premier League, with Leicester winning three drawing two and Leeds winning just once. However, Leeds defeated Leicester 1-0 earlier this season.
The betting Tip. Leeds win.
