REF’s picks

Mainz draw no bet removes the stalemate factor and leans on the visitors' superior top-tier pedigree. Still, backing Elversberg on their own patch with this safety net carries valid appeal.

1. 1Mainz have enough offensive weapons to outscore their hosts over ninety minutes.
2. 2Elversberg's recent defeat to Darmstadt raises questions about their current momentum.
