Prediction: Fsv Mainz 05 wins
This is an intriguing fixture in the race to finish in the top eight. Both Mainz and Samsunspor are in the top eight, thanks to a strong start to their respective league phase campaigns. Both may, however, drop out of it, so the result of this game will decide their fate. After a strong start to the campaign, Mainz and Samsunspor have seen their Conference League charge fizzle out.
Home strengths could help Mainz come out on top here, although not without conceding. Our 1 Fsv Mainz 05 vs Samsunspor prediction is 1 Fsv Mainz 05 wins and BTTS.
Comprehensive Prediction Analysis:
Fsv Mainz 05
Mainz play Samsunspor in the final group game of the league phase of the 2025-26 UEFA Conference League with a top-eight place at stake. This match on Thursday at Mewa Arena between the eighth-placed 05ers and the fifth-placed ‘Red Lightning’ comes with our prediction of a home win and BTTS.
With ten points (W3, D1, L1), Mainz start this round just inside the top eight, while Samsunspor are only ahead on goal difference. Both teams are already guaranteed a place in the top 16 but can still finish in the top eight.
A 2-2 away draw at Bayern Munich last weekend was a creditable draw for the struggling Mainz, who haven’t won in seven competitive games (D3, L4). New manager Urs Fischer started his reign with two impressive draws.
One of those draws came on matchday five of this campaign away at Lech Poznan. Mainz have three wins from the first three matchdays, two of which have come at home.
