Team News

Mainz
Hoffenheim
  • Stefan Bell and Niko Bungert offer further options at centre-back.
  • Daniel Brosinski should return from injury to challenge Giulio Donati for the spot at right-back.
  • Karim Onisiwo offers a further option up front, with Robin Quaison out injured.
  • Stefan Posch returns from a one-match ban to offer a further alternative at centre-back, if manager Julian Nagelsmann decides to switch to a back-three.
  • Joshua Brenet could get another chance on the left, if Nico Schulz does not recover from a knee injury in time.
  • Leonardo Bittencourt could replace the injured Nadiem Amiri in central midfield.

Prediction

  • Mainz are full of confidence after a 2-0 win at rivals Frankfurt last time out. They are stuck in midtable obscurity, but will try to put in a positive display again here.
  • Hoffenheim have only picked up one point from their last three Bundesliga matches and dropped out of the race for a Champions League spot as a result. They need at least a draw here and hope for other teams to drop points to at last finish in the Europa League places now.
  • Expect this to be an open game with several chances at both ends of the pitch, which Hoffenheim have the quality to win.
