CS Universitatea Craiova vs FSV Mainz 05 Prediction (27.11.2025)

Craiova returns home after a disciplined victory as guests against Rapid Vienna, which certainly boosted their confidence. In this tournament, they generally feel comfortable in front of their own fans, where they often take the initiative and act boldly in attacking positions. Their home matches usually unfold at a high pace and with a clear desire to keep the opponent under constant pressure.

Although Mainz is experiencing serious difficulties in the Bundesliga, the picture is completely different in the Conference League – three victories from three matches so far. The team shows excellent organization, patience, and the ability to close out matches, even when they do not dominate entirely. It is this discipline and effectiveness in Europe that makes them an extremely tough opponent, whether playing at home or as guests.

The clash pits a strong home team against a side that has been flawless in the tournament so far. Craiova has its arguments at home, but Mainz's perfect streak in the Conference League and their ability to win even in tightly contested matches tilt the scales in favor of the guests. It is this European stability that leads me to predict a victory for Mainz.
