The round 2 of the DFB Pokal continues today, where the 10th in Bundesliga2 will face the current leader in Bundesliga1 Mainz 05.
Both teams advanced to this stage of the tournament after beating mediocre teams with the score of 2:1.
So far Aachen is having a good season in Bundesliga2, drawing 2 and winning 3 of their last 5 games. But if that’s wonderful for them, what can we say about Mainz, winning 8 and losing just a single game, being first in Bundesliga1.
Mainz beat away teams like Bayern Munich, Werder Bremen, Bayer Leverkusen, Wolfsburg. In fact the team has won all away games since round 1 of the DFB Pokal.
Are you surprised then, why the odds around different bookmakers are so high for Mainz? Because they seem to play hard against this opponent and out of 11 visits on this stadium, they have won only 3 and drew 1. Their last win is December 3rd 2007 when they have won with 0:3

The real question here is how hard will Mainz try to go after the German Cup, and if they do, would they be able to keep up the 1st spot in the Bundesliga.
The team is in a wonderful shape without doubt, and should see no trouble against a team they know pretty well from the lower division.

Mainz 05 to win @ 1.90 (Open Bet365 Account – Claim your 100% Initial Bonus ): The cup games are always hard to predict, and anything can happen. However Mainz have been close to perfect this year, and perfect in away games, so backing them up would be the logical choice here.
