Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Hoffenheim play host to Mainz at their PreZero Arena on day 4 of the new Bundesliga campaign. Hoffenheim have been impressive in front of goal of late, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Mainz. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Denmark attacker Bruun Larsen, who has already scored two goals in the new domestic campaign, while all Baumgartner, Akpoguma, Nordtveite, Bicakcic, and Hubner are out of contention for the hosts.
Die Nullfunfer, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-0 win over Greuther Furth. Mainz, though, continue with their habit of producing much better showings at home than on the travels, and they are unlikely to spoil Hoffenheim’s party at PreZero Arena. All Adam Szalai, Moussa Niakhtate, and Karim Onisiwo will miss Saturday’s clash.
