Mainz 05, Recent FormIn their last league encounter, Mainz 05 racked up a stunning 4-0 home win against Darmstadt 98. In that game they had 60% possession and managed 18 attempts on goal, with 9 on target, compared to Darmstadt 98 who had 14 attempts and 2 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 11 and seen valuable points lost. They have had a recent run of 3 clean sheets, and playing at home, they have scored in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have had a good run of form at The MEWA Arena recently, unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games and picking up 3 wins along the way. It's fair to say that their form in the league has not been good this season, given they have clocked up just 4 wins from 28 matches.
On an individual basis, Jonathan Burkardt will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Mainz 05's last 6 league games.
1899 Hoffenheim, Recent Form1899 Hoffenheim will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 3-1 home win against Augsburg. They came away from that fixture with a 55% share of the possession and clocked up 18 attempts on goal with 6 on target, in comparison to Augsburg, who managed 15 attempts on goal, 6 of which were on target.
Pellegrino Matarazzo, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 12 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 10 goals scored. They have failed to record a clean sheet in their last 23 games; however, playing away from home this season, they have scored in 13 of their 14 games.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win.
Away from home in the league, Maximilian Beier has given the 1899 Hoffenheim travelling fans plenty to get excited about, with 5 goals from their last 6 games on the road.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw.
Mainz will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against achtzehn99 having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 7 meetings. During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at The MEWA Arena, achtzehn99 have been unable to break through the Mainz defence and find the back of the net.
Playing at home, Mainz have won the last 2 and are unbeaten in the last 3 times they have faced Hoffenheim in the league.
Ihlas Bebou will be feeling confident of netting goals for Hoffenheim in this one against Mainz with his scoring record of 3 goals in their last 5 meetings in the league.
Mainz manager Bo Henriksen has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Stefan Bell (Heart problems), Maxim Leitsch (Groin), Jessic Ngankam (Knee) and Nelson Weiper (Lack of fitness) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Mërgim Berisha (Cruciate ligament) and Marco John (Cruciate ligament) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Pellegrino Matarazzo will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
