Mainz Preview – Can Mainz pull a win out of the bag?
Saturday’s hosts, Mainz, head into this important clash against Hoffenheim looking for their first win for four matches in the Bundesliga after three draws and a defeat, which has left them dangerously close to the relegation zone.
Points against Fortuna Dusseldorf 1-1, Cologne 2-2 and a 1-1 draw with Union Berlin have barely offset their heavy 5-0 defeat at home to RB Leipzig and the hosts now sit fourth from bottom in the German top flight, just one point above the relegation play-off spot.
Mainz therefore will be well motivated to grab the points here, but an overall home record of 4-2-8 15/26 looks unconvincing, but there could be goals at each end as 8 of Mainz’s 14 home matches have seen both teams score.
Hoffenheim Preview – Hoffenheim put pressure on top six?
Or rather, put pressure on 6th placed Wolfsburg as the visitors sit just on the fringes of the top six and just three points shy of Wolfsburg ahead of this weekend’s action in the Bundesliga, while a trip to a struggling Mainz outfit could be the perfect opportunity for Hoffenheim to stake their claim for a top six berth.
However, it’s also been far from plain sailing for Hoffenheim as the visitors have managed to collect just one win out of their last eight matches overall in the Bundesliga, which was gained in an impressive 3-1 home win over Cologne in midweek.
Aside from that victory though, there’s been little to shout about for Hoffenheim in recent times as the visitors have slumped to four defeats and three draws as well; however, 8 of Hoffenheim’s 13 away matches have also seen both teams score, so the goals market looks promising here.
