Hoffenheim

Sebastian Hoeness's men have won three of their last five competitive meetings and have enough in the tank to get past their rivals.

Total Goals Over 2.5

Hoffenheim are averaging two goals at home in their last five outings, with Mainz also chipping in a goal a game on their travels. While only two of Mainz's last five games on the road have resulted in the Over 2.5 coming true, it is a totally different scenario for the hosts. Four of Hoffenheim's last five have seen Over 2.5 goals at an average of 3.2.

Anytime goalscorer – Andrej Kramaric

The Croatian forward has scored 14 goals in 20 appearances for Hoffenheim this season. He was unavailable due to injury in the middle of February but has made a swift recovery. Kramaric was on the board in the 2-1 victory over Champions League-chasing VfL Wolfsburg at home. He missed the mark in the 2-0 away defeat to Stuttgart but should trouble the scorers in familiar surroundings.

Hoffenheim vs Mainz: Team News and Match Preview

TSG 1899 Hoffenheim

Heading into the final nine games of the season, Sebastian Hoeness's men are ten points adrift of UEFA Europa League qualifying slots. Molde knocked them out of the Europa League and their focus needs to be on the Bundesliga, where they are 11th in the points table. They have made their task difficult for themselves throughout the 2021/21 Bundesliga campaign with profligate performances in front of goal. They made 16 goal attempts against Stuttgart but returned home with nothing to show for their forays. Hoeness will hope Kramaric and Co. give a better performance against Mainz.

Mainz 05

With eight points from their last five outings, Mainz 05 have seen their fortunes take an upturn. The club are embroiled in a relegation fight with four teams bidding to avoid the drop. The Carnival Club is in dire straits and it is their desperation that makes them dangerous. They have recently picked up wins against Freiburg and Borussia Moenchengladbach, whilst also earning hard-fought draws against Schalke and Bayer Leverkusen. However, Bo Svensson needs a talisman to replace the now Crystal Palace hitman, Jean-Philippe Mateta. Robin Quaison was their unlikely hero last time out and they need a reliable goalscorer.
