Mainz vs Hoffenheim Prediction & Betting Tips (13 April)

Mainz will probably not have good memories of this 2023-2024 financial year. Never really able to shine this season, he spent a large part of his time in the red zone where they are still 6 days from the end. However, FSV has found some hope of remaining in recent times by winning 2 victories in the last 3 days played against Bochum 2-0, Leipzig 0-0 and Darmstadt 4-0 last weekend. In the ranking, Ludovic Ajorque's partners remain 16th. They are still virtually play-offs but they are only 3 points behind the first non-relegation place, Bochum.

Far from having to fight for maintenance as they had to do last year, Hoffenheim can on the contrary claim a place in Europe next year. The TSG indeed occupies a very correct 8th place and it has the same number of points as the 7th, Augsburg. However, the visitors have not been particularly regular lately with notably 3 defeats in a row conceded against Eintracht Frankfurt 3-1, Stuttgart 0-3 and Bayer Leverkusen 2-1. However, Hoffe was able to return to success by winning a decisive duel in the race for Europe against Augsburg precisely 3-1 last weekend.

Absent for many months, replacement striker Weiper could finally return to the group this weekend. Conversely, the substitutes Bell and Leitsch and the replacement goalkeeper Batz must still be patient in the infirmary and give up being in the group. At the forefront, we could find the young striker Burkhard who now shares 1st place in the team's scorers ranking with the Korean Lee Jae-Sung, author of a double last week.

The two men have scored 4 goals this season. Ludovic Ajorque, for his part, is only a substitute.
