How will the face-to-face match between the rivals on December 1 go and what exact bets should you choose? – the answer is in our forecast
Command Analysis
Mainz 05
GermanyCurrent form
Mainz has noticeably improved recently and pleases its fans. In the four previous rounds, the Carnival players have not lost - two draws and two wins. It should be noted that the team achieved one of the victories on its home field over Borussia Dortmund with a score of 3:1. In the last round, Bo Henriksen charges left no chance for Holstein, beating their opponent away with a score of 3:0. Mainz is approaching the upcoming game in tenth place in the table, but in case of victory today it will immediately step up to seventh place.
Disqualifications and injuries
The appearance of Viper and Onisiwo on the field today is questionable.

- Mainz have scored first in 10 of their last 14 home Bundesliga matches
Estimated line-up: Centner - Cor, Bell, da Costa - Kasi, Sano, Amiri, Mwene - Nebel, Li - Burkardt.
Hoffenheim
GermanyCurrent form
Hoffenheim have suffered only one defeat in the last five rounds, and have earned eight points in total over this period. Certainly, there has been some progress, but given the starting failures with 12 points, the team approaches the upcoming game only in 14th place in the table. In the last round, they managed to win at home in a tense match against Leipzig (4:3). It is noticeable that the charges of Christian Ilzer, who recently took over the team, are having a hard time playing in a busy schedule. Thus, this week, Hoffenheim was unable to do anything against Braga (0:3) away in the Europa League. In the LE standings, after five rounds, the team occupies only 25th place, outside the playoff zone.
Disqualifications and injuries
Hoffenheim have a lot of players in the infirmary: Kabak, Lenz, Becker, Promel, Grillitsch, Bülter, Bebou.
Interesting trends for betting
- Seven of Hoffenheim last ten Bundesliga matches have featured goal exchanges
- Hoffenheim have gone undefeated in 9 of their last 10 Bundesliga away games
Probable line-up: Baumann – Kaderabek, Chaves, Nsoki, Prass – Bischof, Stach – Glozek, Kramaric, Bruun Larsen – Tabakovic.

14.00Tip and bets
In the last three away games, Hoffenheim did not take points from Mainz and it is unlikely that this streak will be broken today. The hosts have gained a decent momentum, winning two games in a row, scoring three goals each. The visitors have a difficult schedule, many injured players, and limited opportunities for rotation. We believe that Mainz will score another three points.
Our prediction is a victory for Mainz with odds of 2.00
Bet on total
Seven of Hoffenheim last ten away games have seen goals exchanged. Today there is a high probability of an open and courageous game in which we will see goals from both sides, as they have done in four of their last five head-to-head encounters.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.60
Bet on corners
Let note that in the last six head-to-head matches on their home field, Mainz won against Hoffenheim on corners, which we expect to happen this time too.
Prediction: Mainz win on corners with odds of 1.58
