Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Buoyed by a 3-2 win over Augsburg, Mainz will be aiming to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Heidenheim on Matchday 5. Die Nullfunfer did well to put an end to their three-game winless run, but they do not want to stop now. Nadiem Amiri serves a one-game ban, while fellow midfielder Jae-Sung Lee has yet to recover from a hip injury.
Heidenheim, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Borussia Dortmund and Freiburg and given their shaky defence, home win should definitely be considered. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team, but forward Denis Thomalla continues to miss out through illness. Brazil forward Leo Scienza is widely expected to return to the starting XI. In their last meeting at Mewa Arena Heidenheim defeated Mainz 1-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
