• Mainz were unbeaten in four of their last five meetings with Hoffenheim.
• Mainz averaged one goal per 90 minutes across their last seven away assignments.

Back Mainz to avoid defeat

Mainz are plotting a great escape this season, and having toiled in the Bundesliga’s bottom three for the majority of the campaign, Die Nullfünfer can clamber out of the drop zone if results go their way this weekend.

Bo Svensson’s men have tasted defeat just twice in eight games, and their late rally included a victory at home to RB Leipzig, draws at Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen, and another win at Borussia Monchengladbach.

Their opponents on Sunday, Hoffenheim, have been producing the goods at home of late, though they could find beating a Mainz outfit battling for their lives tough when the teams meet at the PreZero Arena.

It’s also worth noting that Mainz were unbeaten in four of their last five encounters with Hoffenheim, and with safety in sight and a sustained run of good form behind them, the visitors are worth backing to avoid defeat again in the double chance market, while our 1-1 correct score prediction tips the sides to share the spoils.

Mainz have drawn four of their last seven matches on the road, and having averaged exactly one goal per 90 minutes in those away tests, a single effort should be enough to secure parity again against Hoffenheim.
