Season ticket holders at OPEL ARENA haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Mainz 05 languishing in the 15th position so far. The guesting Hoffenheim will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- Mainz 05 has the most conceded goals in the second half (13) in Bundesliga
- Hoffenheim have scored in all their away matches so far.
Hoffenheim could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Europa League game only three sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Slovan Liberec. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Hoffenheim have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 2300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
