Mainz Attack Targets Goals at Schalke Home

Mainz average 3.2 goals scored per game so far and reach 2.6 across their five league outings. Their away scoring stands at 4.5 goals in those fixtures while they have posted three or more total goals in four of five matches. Schalke concede 1.2 goals a game overall though they have kept clean sheets at home. The visitors also show recent attacking output with three wins in their last five outings. Head to head records show Mainz have managed just one victory in the last ten meetings yet their current form points to an open contest at Veltins Arena. Schalke sit 13th with limited home threat after scoring zero goals in their home games. Mainz will likely test the home defence repeatedly through their forward play.
