Hoffenheim Mainz 05 betting prediction

The home team is currently in the 9^th position of the league, with 28 points won, after 7 wins, 7 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Bayern München, by (5‑2). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Hertha BSC, by (1‑1). This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 5 draws and 8 losses in away matches; against 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses at their stadium. In the last 10 home league matches Hoffenheim has a record of 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 18 points out of 30 possible. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑0 (5 out of 10 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 6 of their 21 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1. there are 2 periods that stand out in the last 10 home matches for this competition: they have scored 7 of their 16 goals between minutes (76'‑90'); they have suffered 4 of their 11 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Hoffenheim managed to stay undefeated until the sixth round of the German Championship, but then saw its income fall, and now has been five matches without a win, having suffered three defeats in that period. At least the team returned to score in the last round, against Hertha Berlin, in a game where it showed a lot of defensive consistency and missed a few passes, having finished almost triple the opponent's time, thus conquering a draw away from home. However, the low score of this confrontation has been somewhat unusual, since its defensive system has been acting inconsistently, being among the four most leaked of the competition. However, the team also has its strengths, such as the exchange of passes, in which it has the third best average of correct matches of the championship. The 3-1-4-2 has been the main tactical formation used by coach Nagelsmann, although he has been testing other alternatives, and in that duel will keep Hübner as a reference in defense.

Confirmed Lineup: Oliver Baumann, Kevin Vogt, Kevin Akpoguma, Benjamin Hübner, Serge Gnabry, Nico Schulz, Nadiem Amiri, Florian Grillitsch, Dennis Geiger, Andrej Kramarić, Ádám Szalai.
Coach: A. Breitenreiter.
