Okay, so I wanted to figure out this whole Mainz vs. Leverkusen prediction thing. It sounded interesting, and I figured, why not give it a shot? I started by, you know, just looking around online.

Gathering Some Info
First, I just browsed a few sports news sites. I wasn’t looking for anything super in-depth, just trying to get a feel for how the teams were doing recently. I jotted down some notes like:
- Mainz’s recent wins/losses: Just a quick count, nothing fancy.
- Leverkusen’s recent wins/losses: Same deal.
- Injured players: Any big names out?
- Whether it is a home game for Mainz.
I figured that general stuff would be a good starting point. You know, are they on a winning streak? Losing streak? Who’s playing at home?
Checking Out the Standings
Next, I looked at the league standings. Where do these teams even rank? Are they close to each other? Is one team way at the top and the other at the bottom? That kind of thing definitely matters.
Head-to-Head History
This felt important. I wanted to see how these two teams have done against each other in the past. So I searched for “Mainz vs Leverkusen head to head” and found some sites that listed their previous matches. Did one team usually dominate? Were the games usually close, high-scoring, or low-scoring?
Formulating My Prediction
After gathering my simple records. I start to make my prediction. I make a document to note my ideas, and give a percentage of the possibility for each team.
Eventually, I make my full prediction, and have confidence with it.
