Mainz drew both of their matches in 2017, 0-0 with Koln and 1-1 with Borussia Dortmund. The visiting side have gained 22 points so far and occupy 10th position in the standings. Martin Schmidt’s men aren’t competitive in matches on the road, gaining only seven points in nine matches. The team is currently on five-match losing streak in games on the road and have 2-12 aggregate goal difference in those games.
The opponents have played eight head-to-heads in recent season and none of the side have advantage in these matches with three wins recorded by each side while two games ended with draws. Considering poor results on Mainz in away matches this season, Hoffenheim should have advantage in head-to-heads after this clash.
Prediction for the match: Hoffenheim to win.
