Mainz – Samsunspor Tip Conference League, Matchday 6 on Thursday, 18.12.2025 at 21:00 CET
On the last matchday of the Conference League preliminary round, there will be an enormously important encounter between FSV Mainz and Samsunspor. Because while the winner makes it into the top eight, the loser will in all likelihood have to take the detour via the playoffs.
Accordingly, I assume that both teams are playing for a win and in my Mainz Samsunspor tip I take aim at the classic “Both teams score” at odds around 1.70 at NEO.bet.
Samsunspor have been attacking in the group stage so far (10 goals in 5 games) and Mainz were able to regain confidence with their recent 2-2 draw in the Bundesliga against FC Bayern. So no one has to hide in this top duel.
Mainz vs. Samsunspor AI predictions:
Of course, our AI model doesn’t miss out on the deciding game for a place in the top eight and provides you with three prediction alternatives in its Mainz Samsunspor AI prediction.
First of all, the digital brain makes it very simple. “Sieg Mainz” has odds around 1.65 and makes perfect sense. FSV has the nominal home advantage and anyone who manages to wrest a 2-2 draw from Bayern in the current situation at the Allianz Arena can’t be that bad.
Predicted chance of winning:

In addition, one must not sweep under the carpet that Samsunspor has recently had to struggle with form problems. The Turks have not won their last six competitive games. The soccer bet “Mainz leads at half-time” selected by the AI to an odd of about 2.30 is therefore no coincidence.
The AI recommends a result bet at the end. The “2-1 for Mainz” is quoted at around 8.50. And in fact, the German bookmakers see only one result as even more likely – the 1:1 at odds of about 8.00.
