Mainz

WWDLDL ⚖

Mainz will be looking to improve on their last outing here after the 2-0 Bundesliga loss in their previous game against Hoffenheim.

In that match, Mainz managed 64% possession and 14 attempts at goal with 1 of them on target. At the other end, 1899 Hoffenheim had 8 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. Andrej Kramarić (4', 32') scored for Hoffenheim.

Mainz have been conceding pretty frequently of late, although they have also done enough to score goals themselves. Looking at their last 6 games, Mainz have been punished defensively in 6 of them as well as getting on the scoresheet in 5 of those games. Such a trend won’t necessarily be continued into this next game, however.

• have not been beaten in their last 10 league matches at home. It's been impressive.
• have not won at home in their last 2 matches in the league.
