Mainz take on the visitors Hamburger in the round 15 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Saturday, December 17th at Opel Arena (Mainz).
Mainz are suffering from the early start of the season and they clearly can use upcoming winter break to recover. The team had solid start of the season in Bundesliga but they’ve following it with disappointing November and there are no signs of improvement in December. Recent five matches got the hosts four defeats. The team is currently on three-match losing run after being beaten by Hertha Berlin, 1-2, Bayern Munich, 1-3, and Borussia Monchengladbach, 0-1. As the results, the team moved down on 11th place with 17 points gained. Martin Schmidt’s men played six matches at home and gained 10 points in them, showing quite high scoring results with 15-13 aggregate goal difference.

It took 10 matchday to Hamburger to wake up and start playing football their fans expect. Recent four matches got the visiting side eight points with two wins in recent games over Darmstadt, 2-0, and Augsburg, 1-0. The Dinosaur moved up from the last place but they are still in relegation zone on 16th position with 10 points gained. However, improvement of the team is quite notable.
Neither of the teams have advantage in recent matches between the opponents. We can expect the visitors, who gained excellent condition before the winter break to continue their nice run of results and offer the hosts a battle and even if Hamburger lose, the spread shouldn’t be big.
Prediction for the match: Hamburger to win with +1.0 Asian handicap.
