Havelse vs Mainz Free Betting Tips
Havelse also sees his chance away from home!
What do Jürgen Klopp and Volker Finke have to do with the cup game between TSV Havelse and Mainz 05? Quite simply, the two cult coaches were the main protagonists in the last duel between these two clubs in the early 1990s. Klopp even scored the opening goal in the 2-1 victory with his zero fives, while Finke sat on the bench at Lower Saxony.
30 years later, the clubs see each other again under special conditions. In the DFB Cup they agreed, like many other opponents, to swap home rights due to the great organizational effort.
The game will therefore not take place in the Wilhelm Langrehr Stadium, but in the Opel Arena. Of course, this has a major impact on how the odds for a tip on the outcome of the game were selected between Havelse and Mainz.
The Bundesliga team is even more favored by the best bookmakers and can even look forward to the support of 1,000 spectators. This is precisely why there is a chance to place a handicap tip on the underdog. Another small step towards normality should be made during this special time and the duel will kick off on Friday evening.
Havelse – Statistics & current form
With a clear 4: 1 against league rivals BSV Rehden, TSV Havelse qualified for the first round of the DFB Cup for the third time in the club’s history. Once, eight years ago, the regional league team made it into round 2 with a surprise win against 1. FC Nürnberg. Without the home advantage and the fans behind us, another coup on Friday will of course be very difficult.
Will Havelse manage the surprise as it did eight years ago?
But the form of the fourth division club seems to fit: At the start of the league, coach Jan Zimmermann’s team managed a sovereign 2-0 against FC Oberneuland last weekend. Jonas Sonnenberg and Torge Bremer scored for the red-whites.
Four yellow cards also show that the team is hot and fighting at the top. The well-established 4-5-1 system is intended to ensure an outnumbered situation, especially in midfield, and thus complicate the Bundesliga club’s development game.
Match practice an advantage for the regional league team?
After the Covid-19 cases in Mainz and the difficult preparation, the outsider hopes for a small chance of the surprise and between Havelse and Mainz the prediction can be dared that the underdog will not give up without a fight and the game will at least be exciting and long can keep open.
It remains to be seen whether the lower level of play can be made up for with strength in a duel, fighting and willingness to run without the fans behind us. This question needs to be answered for all DFB Pokal tips on the betting base this weekend.

Mainz – Statistics & current form
The preparation for the new season could not be carried out under normal conditions for any club. However, one of the hardest hit was clearly Mainz 05. Due to two corona cases in the team, two test games against VfB Stuttgart and Eintracht Frankfurt had to be canceled at short notice.
Will the difficult preparation be fatal for the 05ers?
Some training units were also canceled and players could only train individually in quarantine. Achim Beierlorzer confirmed that his protected were in good early form, but they still have to prove their condition. The three test matches that could be played were all lost. Also in the duel with the second division Sandhausen, the 05ers left the place as losers (0: 1).
For this reason, there is a certain uncertainty before the competitive game start on Friday evening. Tactically, the coach confirmed in the press conference, he is sticking to the 4-2-3-1 basic rules and wants to perfect them further. Jean-Philippe Mateta will be in the forefront and Robin Quaison, the team’s superstar, is in danger of scoring in midfield.
Beierlorzer can draw on unlimited resources
Since only Edimilson Fernandes is not ready for action, the trainer has numerous personal alternatives available. In goal, the trend was recently such that Robin Zentner was given preference over Florian Müller.
If the favorite can use their playing potential despite the difficult preparation, then a tip on the Bundesliga club between Havelse and Mainz will work. However, it would not be the first time that a team from League 1 stumbled at the beginning of the DFB Cup.
Probable formation of Mainz:
➠ Zentner – R. Baku, St. Juste, Niakhaté, Brosinski – Barreiro, Latza – Burkardt, Quaison, Onisiwo – Mateta

Havelse vs Mainz Direct comparison

Havelse vs Mainz Free Betting Tips by BetRush
Will there be fewer surprises this DFB Pokal season? In the odds comparison of the betting base, the starting positions for some pairings are as clear as rarely before the first round. Because of the frequent exchange of home rights and the lack of large numbers of spectators, the amateur clubs in particular seem to have a clear disadvantage compared to the professional teams.
Also at the encounter Havelse vs. Mainz, the odds for a tip on the outcome of the game would have been much closer together if the game had taken place under normal conditions. But the underdog accepts the challenge as it is and does not seem to have a chance despite the adversity.
The early form of Lower Saxony was proven at the successful league start a week ago with the 2-0 against Oberneuland.
Key facts – Havelse vs Mainz tips
? Havelse is in good early form and leads the regional league
? At Mainz, the preparation was very bumpy due to several positive tests in the team
? The home rights were swapped and the game takes place in the Opel Arena
Added to this are the problems at Mainz 05 in preparation due to the failed test matches and the poor results so far. Above all, there is a big question mark behind the performance of the Bundesliga club, which is why the value is to be found on the side of the outsider despite the lack of home advantage.
The handicap bet (+2.5 goals) seems to be a good alternative if the tip on the double chance 1 / X between Havelse and Mainz is seen as too risky. The probability of success in this selection is at least 50%, which is why the handicap tip can be played profitably with a bet of six units.
Betting Tips: Handicap: Home win +2.5
Odds: 1.97
