Mainz 05 vs Hoffenheim Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 21st November 2025

Hoffenheim go up against Mainz 05 this coming Friday for a Bundesliga meeting at MEWA Arena.

Placed 17th in the table Mainz 05 have amassed five points after ten matches. On 19 points, Hoffenheim rank sixth with ten matches played this season.

With four wins on the bounce, Hoffenheim are ready to take on anyone, and motivation should be high to let Mainz 05 be the next victim in line.

Mainz 05 go into their next Bundesliga match, scoring a humble average of one per game in their last ten matches. They scored a mundane ten times, while conceding 18. That amounts to an average of 1.8 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring zero times.

Hoffenheim are brimming with confidence in front of goal before the upcoming away match in the Bundesliga, as they can show off very handsome numbers from their previous ten games. The visitors scored 2.1 times on average per match, for a total of 21 goals. They also let in 16 goals, leaving an average of 1.6 per match. They fought their way to one clean sheets.

Mainz 05 were defeated by 2-0 in their last encounter with Hoffenheim, but did win the reverse match 2-0, though.

Mainz 05 vs Hoffenheim Prediction

Mainz 05 Form

Mainz 05 have seen it all in their last three matches, which added four points to their account. They first shared the points in a 1-1 draw with Werder Bremen, before claiming 3 points in a 2-1 win against Fiorentina. Unfortunately for them, this was followed by a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Eintracht Frankfurt. Mainz 05 didn't manage a single win in any of their previous six Bundesliga games at the MEWA Arena. They have a record of two draws and four defeats, in which they conceded 11 and scored six goals.

Mainz 05 entered the season hunting for a title, however they find themselves far off track at this stage.

Hoffenheim Form

Hoffenheim look well suited to take on any opponent as their last three matches ended with a draw and two wins. They started off drawing 1-1 with St. Pauli, before downing first Wolfsburg by 2-3, then RB Leipzig in a 3-1 win. Hoffenheim recorded a very decent outcome of four wins from six away matches in the Bundesliga, in which they banged in 15 goals, whilst conceding eight. They remained undefeated, but did draw twice.

Ambitions are high for Hoffenheim, and winning the title is still possible, but they need to raise their level to achieve the highest prize.

Though favourites for the win, we are uncertain the current form of Mainz 05 backs this claim. We believe there is good value in Hoffenheim, perhaps with the backing of the draw.

Mainz 05 fought their way to zero wins and zero points from their last four games against teams inside the top six. They were on target four times in these matches, but also let in nine goals. Hoffenheim won three of their previous three encounters with opponents from the bottom six of the Bundesliga. They scored nine and conceded three goals and collected nine points. Mainz 05 have so far been able to win just once after ten Bundesliga games played, in stead showing off two draws and seven defeats. Hoffenheim have a record of six wins, one draw and three defeats in the Bundesliga.
