Prediction

  • After sacking head coach Bo Svensson, Mainz are unbeaten in two with consecutive clean sheets to move out of the automatic relegation spots.
  • Hoffenheim have found the net in every game this term and are unbeaten away with five wins out of six, but have lost four out of five at home.
  • Goals should be expected at both ends, but this has the feel of a share of the spoils.
