Mainz 05, Recent FormThe Mainz 05 players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Borussia Dortmund recently, that ended in a 2-1 defeat. In that game they had 38% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to Borussia Dortmund who had 12 attempts and 6 on target.
Whilst they have scored a reasonable 5 goals in their last 6 games, they are struggling to pick up points due to their defence, who have shipped 14 goals in the same period. They have shown that they have a consistent appetite for goals at home of late, having clocked up goals in 5 of their last 6 matches at The MEWA Arena. Bo Svensson will be slightly concerned about his defence, after only managing 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
Bochum, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Bochum players having failed to take any points away from their recent 2-0 away defeat at the hands of Bayer Leverkusen. Their share of possession in that meeting was 43%, while racking up 10 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target. Bayer Leverkusen had 11 shots on goal with 4 on target.
While they have shown an appetite for goals over the last 6 matches, clocking up 6, they have not had it all their own way at the back and have given away 11 goals and some valuable points in the process. This season, their defensive frailties have certainly been apparent, having conceded at least 1 goal in 15 of their 17 league games.
They've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation. The've certainly not managed to shine on their travels so far this season, losing 8 of their 9 away league games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Bochum, Philipp Hofmann will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Mainz 05 that came out on top with a 1-2 win.
Mainz have managed to keep a clean sheet against Die Unabsteigbaren in each of their previous 2 meetings at The MEWA Arena.
Bochum has lost the last 2 times they've faced Mainz in the league.
Mainz manager Bo Svensson has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Delano Burgzorg (Ankle), Jonathan Burkardt (Knee), Marlon Mustapha (Thigh) and Robin Zentner (Back) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Cristian Gamboa (Knee) and Paul Grave (Shoulder) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Thomas Letsch will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
