THE PREDICTION
Mainz look to bounce back here following their 4-1 thrashing away at RB Leipzig last weekend as they host Bochum, who were victorious against struggling Wolfsburg. Only one point and one place separate these two sides in the Bundesliga table and a close encounter may be in the offing. However, key for Mainz is that they boast the all-important home advantage. Bo Svensson’s men have won their last two home league games and are unbeaten across their last six in all competitions at MEWA ARENA. This should give them the edge against a team who in contrast, have lost three of their most recent four away fixtures so consider backing Bochum to win via the safety of the draw no bet market.
