THE PREDICTION
A more than satisfactory eighth-place finish last season for Mainz is something they’ll be looking to build on in 2022-23 as they begin away at Bochum, who were the lowest scorers of all the Bundesliga sides who finished outside of the bottom three. They’ll need to improve going forward in this campaign, but this could wind up being a frustrating encounter for them as Mainz prioritise a solid defensive shape with men behind the ball ready to hit the hosts on the counter attack. Chances could therefore be in short supply here and backing under 2.5 goals to be scored has to be favoured.
