PREVIEW & TIPS FOR Hoffenheim vs Mainz
FSV Mainz 05 has been on the rise in recent weeks. On Sunday afternoon, the red and white will face TSG Hoffenheim, a team where volatility is the trump card this season.
Hoffenheim Team News
TSG Hoffenheim was allocated a Sunday game for this round, with a view to the Europa League, in which Die TSG managed to hibernate. But in the previous round of the EL, Hoffenheim was surprisingly eliminated by the Norwegian Molde FK, which allowed them to work towards this weekend’s game in peace. The defeat against the Norwegians was not an isolated one. Hoffenheim is simply not performing consistently enough this season to really play a significant role. Good matches alternate with poor performances.
The team delivered one of those weak performances last weekend, in the away match against VfB Stuttgart. Overall, Hoffenheim was unable to create much, meaning that Stuttgart didn’t even have to play well to win the match 2-0. The gap to seventh place – which is normally good for participation in the Conference Leauge – can still be bridged, but it is clear that Hoffe really has to improve strongly in the remainder of the season if they want to be seriously eligible for that. Good news for trainer Sebastian Hoeneß is that there are slightly less injured than earlier this season. Christoph Baumgartner’s employability is doubtful.
Mainz Team News
FSV Mainz 05 woke up just in time. For a long time, the team of Jeremiah St. Juste and Jean-Paul Boëtius performed considerably below par, but things have improved in recent weeks. From their last eight league matches, Die Nullfünfer achieved the respectable number of fourteen points. The safe places have thus come closer for Mainz, which is now 21 points, only one point behind number fifteen DSC Arminia Bielefeld. So there is hope again for an extension of the Bundesliga-board.
This week it was announced that midfielder Danny Latza will leave Mainz after this season. He has signed a contract with fellow low-flyer FC Schalke 04. The fans, however, do not have to fear a conflict of interest. “Anyone who knows me knows that I will fight for Mainz to the end,” Latza urged supporters. ‘My goal remains very clear, namely: enforcement with Mainz.’ It is unclear whether Latza will be able to play on Sunday. He has a question mark behind his name, just like attacker Karim Onisiwo. For the rest, everyone can be deployed on the Die Nullfünfer side.
