Mainz 05 are placed 14th with 21 points after 22 matches. Hamburger SV occupy a position as nineth in the league on 25 points.

Mainz 05 are looking for a payback after suffering a disappointing defeat in their latest encounter with Hamburger SV and odds favour them to pull it off.

They simultaneously allowed their opponents 14 goals, or an average of 1.4 a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to two clean sheets in this run.

Mainz 05 vs Hamburger SV Prediction

Mainz 05 Form

In their last three matches, Mainz 05 beat RB Leipzig by 1-2 and Augsburg by 2-0, before losing against Borussia Dortmund by 4-0. Mainz 05 won half of their previous six matches on home soil in the Bundesliga, while also drawing two. They suffered one defeats, while they scored eight and conceded four goals.

Hamburger SV Form

Hamburger SV look well suited to take on any opponent as their last three matches ended with a draw and two wins. They started off drawing 2-2 with Bayern Munich, before downing first FC Heidenheim by 0-2, then Union Berlin in a 3-2 win. Hamburger SV only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Bundesliga. In these six matches they drew one and lost four as well as being outscored by 11 goals to five.

Head-to-head encounters tend to bring out the best in both sides, when it comes to goals. We see no reason for this trend to end here, and we expect an entertaining match once again between Mainz 05 and Hamburger SV.

Mainz 05 claimed five wins, six draws as well as 11 defeats in the Bundesliga this season. Hamburger SV enjoy a record of six wins, seven draws and eight defeats in the Bundesliga.
