Mainz look to find form again as they take on a high flying Hoffenheim side who are one of only two sides in the Bundesliga to still be undefeated on the road.

Mainz look to be struggling with the added demands of European football, while Hoffenheim are benefitting from not being in Europe after a disastrous campaign last season which almost saw them relegated from the German top flight.

📈 Mainz v Hoffenheim Form & Stats

Mainz have been really poor in the Bundesliga so far this season. Their last three wins have come in the Conference League, with this campaign clearly having an impact on their domestic responsibilities. This added workload to the calendar has particularly affected Mainz at home, where they’re yet to win in the Bundesliga across five matches so far this season.

Mainz need to carry more firepower if they are to lift themselves from this precarious position in the Bundesliga. Only three sides in the German top flight have scored fewer goals than Mainz so far this season which is a real problem when lining up against a side that have scored 21 goals, more than double Mainz, across the same number of fixtures.

Mainz will be encouraged by the fact that Hoffenheim have conceded more goals than any other side in the top six of the Bundesliga this season (16). They’ll also be encouraged by the fact that they beat Hoffenheim in this fixture last season, running out 2-0 winners on that occasion. 

Hoffenheim returned the favour in the latest head to head meeting between the sides as they ran out 2-0 winners over Mainz as the home side. Hoffenheim are progressing strongly in the Bundesliga following a poor season and currently sit sixth in the division. 

Hoffenheim being absent from any European competition gives them extra time and recovery to focus on their league duties, something which could prove crucial in the coming weeks as we head into a hectic period of the campaign.
