Team News

Mainz
Bochum
  • Nadiem Amiri has ankle problems, but Jessic Ngankam, Dominik Kohr and Leandro Barreiro are all available after suspension.
  • Striker Nelson Weiper is ruled out after a knee surgery, while Stefan Bell has a heart inflammation issue that is of concern.
  • Andreas Hanche-Olsen is nearing a return from a muscle tear, while Maxim Leitsch has adductor problems.
  • Moritz-Broni Kwarteng is suspended for two more games following his red card and also suffered a knee injury and will not play again this season.
  • Matus Bero is struggling with a knee injury, while Christopher Antwi-Adjei and Patrick Osterhage are battling muscle injuries.
  • Back up goalkeeper Michael Esser has a knee issue, while Mohammed Tolba has suffered an ACL injury.

Prediction

  • A genuine relegation six-pointer. Bochum beat Bayern at home recently, whereas Mainz and Bo Henriksen, their third boss of the season, got battered 8-1 last weekend in Munich.
  • Bochum have lost three in a row and sit one place above relegation trouble, while Mainz can close the margin to six points with a precious victory.
  • Mainz have not scored more than twice in 30 games since a 3-1 victory against Bayern towards the end of last season.
  • The two teams shared four goals in the reverse fixture and both have a league-high 10 draws, so another stalemate is the call here.
