Bet Of The Day February 23 – read on below for our reasoning behind today’s best bet.

Key Points

Leverkusen are unbeaten in 32 competitive games this season (German club record)
Leverkusen have won 18 of their 22 league games
Leverkusen have won nine of their 11 home league games
Leverkusen have kept a clean sheet in six of their last eight home league games
Leverkusen have kept a clean sheet in their last four straight home league games
Leverkusen have only conceded five goals at home all season in the league
Mainz are winless in all 11 of their away league games
Leverkusen beat Mainz 3-0 on the road earlier this season

We’re off to the Bundesliga for today’s best bet as Bayer Leverkusen look to maintain their big lead at the top of the table when they play host to lowly Mainz.

It’s been an absolutely extraordinary season for Leverkusen under the guidance of Xabi Alonso, with the club going 32 games unbeaten in all competitions, equaling Bayern Munich for the all-time German record.

More importantly, Leverkusen have opened up an eight-point lead over Bayern at the top of the table and could increase that to 11 before their rivals take the field this weekend.

Leverkusen have won nine of their 11 home league games this season and have kept a clean sheet in six of their last eight such outings.

With this in mind, we’ll be backing Leverkusen to win this game to nil.

Unsurprisingly, Leverkusen are the Bundesliga’s best performers on home soil, conceding just six goals all season.

Mainz aren’t likely to pose a threat here either – they’re averaging the fewest Bundesliga points per game on the road, failing to win any of their 11 away fixtures.

Overall, Leverkusen have won 18 of their 22 league games this season and conceded just 15 goals along the way, while Mainz have failed to score in half of their last six away matches.

Leverkusen have kept four clean sheets on the bounce at home in the league and they should produce another shut-out victory here.
