1.FSV Mainz 05 vs Newcastle United Prediction

Competition: Club Friendlies
Date: Monday, 18th, July 2022
Kickoff: 15:00 UK/16.00 CET
Venue: Venue Kufstein-Arena (Kufstein)

Newcastle faced various problems in the first half of the previous season, ending that period with just one triumph, but after the club was taken over by the Saudis, the team began to change from the roots. In fact, The Magpies have surprised many with their performances in the rest of the season, finishing the second half with 12 triumphs from 18 games and for them 11th position was a great achievement. Meanwhile, Mainz added gas in the season finale, but despite collecting 7 points from the last three rounds, they narrowly missed the European competitions, finishing the campaign six points behind Koln. However, Die Nullfünfer managed to extend their undefeated streak to four games as they registered a convincing 4-0 triumph over Wormatia Worms in the first test of the new campaign.

1.FSV Mainz 05 vs Newcastle United Betting Tips

Mainz and Newcastle played one friendly in 2017 and that was actually the only meeting between these teams so far, with the German side managing to triumph 2-1, so the audience should enjoy another interesting clash on Monday.  Newcastle are now eager for revenge, and The Magpies will look to extend their winning streak to five games after opening pre-season with routine triumphs over Gateshead (5-1) and 1860 Munich (3-0). It should also be noted that Mainz have shown attacking sharpness recently, scoring at least two goals in each of their last four games in all competitions, including a convincing 3-1 triumph over Bayern during that run. In fact, the 4-0 triumph over Worms was Mainz's first clean sheet in their previous nine competitive games. As we can see in the first pre-season tests of these teams, both teams showed a clear sharpness in attack, so I believe that both teams will continue in the same rhythm on Monday.
