FSV Mainz 05 vs TSG Hoffenheim Predictions

• Hoffenheim have lost only two of their last 12 Bundesliga away games
• Both teams have scored in eight of the last ten Bundesliga meetings between the sides
• Mainz’s eight league games featured 31 goals, while Hoffenheim’s eight matches have seen 29 goals

Lively contest expected at Mainz

Mainz registered their first Bundesliga win of the season at Freiburg last weekend but they have picked up only one point from four home league outings and can expect another tough test against Hoffenheim.

Hoffenheim have also endured a slow start to the season, yielding only eight points from as many games and failing to win in any of their last six outings.

However, while wins have been hard to come by, neither have any trouble making the net bulge and it is their defensive flaws that leave the pair vulnerable.

None of the pair have keep a league clean sheet in eight attempts this season and Mainz’s eight matches have featured 31 goals, while Hoffenheim have seen 29 goals in the same period.

Both teams have scored in eight of the last ten Bundesliga meetings between the sides and we predict this to follow suit.

Hoffenheim have lost only two of their last 12 Bundesliga away games and they should be capable of picking up a point at Mainz, who have conceded ten goals in four home games.

The visitors have played out score draws in two of their last four Bundesliga games, so we predict them to play their part in a 2-2 draw – Mainz’s last league match on home soil against Schalke ended that way.
