Digging into past meetings, it’s a mixed bag. Mainz (Boulevard)’s had the upper hand lately, but footy’s got a nonexistent memory.
Personal take: Both teams’ve got holes. Mainz (Boulevard)’s center park’s off-rhythm, while Shakhtar (MeLToSik)’s attack craves a killer instinct.
In terms of the eSports Battle (2x4 min.), this fixture carries greater importance. The competition’s race for European places means every result is crucial, and both teams know a positive result here could shift momentum in the standings. Recent form in the eSports Battle (2x4 min.) suggests neither outfit can afford slip-ups, making this encounter even more compelling.
But hey, there’s a vibe about this one—who knows, it’s the fixture where a player steps up.

If you’re backing this one, here’s the real talk.
Mainz (Boulevard) at 1.91 to win feels a tad skinny given their Jekyll-and-Hyde act in the eSports Battle (2x4 min.) this term. Their xG (expected goals) suggest they’re overperforming — analytics guys would fade them.
Shakhtar (MeLToSik)’s 2.98 odds intrigues, especially if their center forward (CF) shakes off his cold streak.
The smart money’ll likely target the Draw 3.77 — these derbies often follow scripts, and nerves can stifle attacking flow.
