Mainz is ranked second with tonight, according to many bookmakers, as was normal, as he is going to face a stronger opponent. The hosts of this defeat do not impress at all in the current edition of the championship, at the moment being only in the 15th place in the championship, a short distance from the relegation area. In the four stages so far, Sandro Schwarz has just scored three points, winning a win against Leverkusen, but losing in disputes with Hannover, Stuttgart and Bayern Munchen, in which they scored three goals, receiving seven. Mainz will not be able to count Alexander Hack, Emil Berggreen, Jannik Huth, Gaëtan Bussmann and Kenan Kodro today, all unavailable due to injuries.

• PROBABIL TEAM: Adler – Diallo, Bell, Balogun – Brosinski, Latza, Serdar, Donati – Oztunali, Fischer – Muto

Hoffenheim on the other side is slightly preferred to bookmakers, as expected, in value over his opponent, but he will certainly have a difficult match, given that he will evolve away. The guests of this match did not start bad in the new season, but on the contrary, at this moment being ranked sixth in the ranking, being four points leader Bayern, which has an extra match. Kenan Kodro’s team has gathered eight points in the four stages so far, winning two wins, both on home ground, defeating Bayern and Werder Bremen, drawing with Leverkusen and Hertha Berlin. In these matches, Hoffenheim scored six goals, receiving twice as few goals.

• PROBABIL TEAM: Baumann – Hubner, Vogt, Nordtveit – Schulz, Rupp, Grillitsch, Amiri, Kaderabek – Uth, Wagner

The last four direct defeats ended with at least four successes, with no fewer than 21 goals scored. Tonight I expect a similar outcome, so I will bet on the fact that it will enroll at least three times.
