Both of these teams languish in the bottom half and are desperate to inject momentum into faltering campaigns. For Hamburg, the challenge has been goals, with Merlin Polzin’s possessing the worst attack in the league.
Mainz, meanwhile, arrive off the back of a European win, but struggling to translate that into league stability.

Hamburg v Mainz Best Bet
📈 Hamburg v Mainz Form & Stats
Hamburg’s return to the Bundesliga has been tougher than expected. The newly promoted side have scored just two league goals all season, the worst tally in the division, and arrive with a point fewer than they had at the same juncture in 2017/18.
Nonetheless, there are faint signs of life: four of their five points have come in the last two fixtures (W1, D1), hinting at possible momentum. Their recent run includes a gutsy 2-1 home win over Heidenheim and a 0–0 draw at Union Berlin.
Mainz, by contrast, have been more active in Europe, but inconsistent domestically. They claimed a 1-0 win away at Omonia in the Conference League on Thursday, however, their Bundesliga form is patchy, with just one win in five games (D1, L3) that extends a run in which they’ve taken only two wins from their last 14 Bundesliga matches (D6, L6).
Their successes, more importantly, have come with flair, demonstrating both 4–1 away victories.
In terms of head-to-head, Mainz boast recent dominance. They remain unbeaten in their last six Bundesliga meetings against Hamburg (W3, D3). Historically, across six recent encounters, Mainz have won three and drawn three, with Hamburg having never beaten them in that span.
