Mainz’s perfect winning record in the league phase of the 2025-26 UEFA Conference League will be on the line as they travel to face Universitatea Craiova in matchday four. This match at Ion Oblemenco Stadium between the 20th-placed ‘White-Blues’ and the third-placed ‘05ers’ comes with our prediction of the home side winning at least a point.
After three rounds, Craiova’s four points (W1, D1, L1) see them start this round just one point out of the playoff spots. Mainz’s nine points make them one of only three teams to have won all three matchdays, with only goal difference separating them.
Craiova are settling under new manager Filipe Coelho with a 2-1 win in the domestic league last weekend. That marks a third win in their last five fixtures, drawing once.
The hosts started with a 2-0 away loss to Rakow but bounced back to draw 1-1 at home against Noah and won 1-0 away at SK Rapid. They did lose their latest match at home, but that remains their only defeat in 13 fixtures.
Mainz drew 1-1 at home against Hoffenheim at the weekend for just one win from their last four fixtures (W1, D2, L1). Their away form will be under the scanner, as Mainz lost three in a row but won all three matches in this league phase campaign.
