Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Hoffenheim and Mainz take on each other at PreZero Arena in what is expected to be an exciting Bundesliga game. Hoffenheim aim to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Stuttgart, and you should bear in mind that they are eyeing their sixth home win of the season. Even though his form has been anything but brilliant of late, a man to watch in the home team will be Croatia international Andrej Kramaric.
Mainz, on the other hand, aim to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Freiburg. Die Nullfunfer picked up vital three points in the battle for survival, but beating Hoffenheim on the road is easier said than done. Mainz are considered one of the worst travellers in the league, and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Hoffenheim’s party at PreZero Arena. Both Karim Onisiwo and Danny Latza are sidelined with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Pavel Kaderabek):
Pavel Kaderabek is a Czech Republic defender born on 25 April 1992, who has enjoyed a bright start to his professional career. Coming through the youth ranks at Sparta Prague and gaining some first team experience during a loan spell with Viktoria Zizkov, the right-sided defender was finally able to show what he is capable of during the 2012/2013 season and he didn’t need a lot of time to make the next step in his career.
After scoring impressive 10 goals in 76 league appearances for Sparta Prague, Kaderabek joined Bundesliga side Hoffenheim in the summer of 2015, shortly after he had established himself as a starting right-back in the Czech Republic national team.
The talented footballer helped Repre make it to the Euro 2016 finals by starting 9 qualifying matches, once again proving his killer instinct by scoring two goals. Pavel Kaderabek looks set to become one of leading players of the new generation and a big club move may not be far away either.
