Mainz 05 (home)
- Hamburger SV sit 9th in the Bundesliga 2025/2026 standings with 25 points from 21 games while 1. FSV Mainz 05 are 14th with 21 points from 22, so both clubs have plenty to play for in this Bundesliga clash of lower-half teams.
- Mainz 05 have won their last two home games and appear to have developed a newfound confidence under the tutelage of Urs Fischer.
- The Swiss coach, who took charge of Mainz 05 in December 2025, has brought structure and discipline to his new side, who look much more compact and can be very difficult to break down in their 3-5-2 formation.
Hamburger SV (away)
- Hamburger SV are unbeaten in five matches, winning two and drawing three, and have won their last two games.
- Their away record remains poor, however, with one win, three draws and six defeats and just six goals scored in ten Bundesliga games.
Head-to-Head
Hamburger SV hammered Mainz 05 4-0 when they met four months ago in the Bundesliga 2025/2026.
Key Players
- Nadiem Amiri is the talisman for Mainz 05 with nine goals in 19 Bundesliga games this season, four of his side’s last eight goals coming from his boot.
- Hamburger SV’s top scorer is Rayan Philippe, who has five Bundesliga goals in 19 appearances.
- Ransford Koenigsdoerffer has three in Hamburg’s last five, however, so he could be the best value in the anytime goalscorer market.
Betting Insights
- The odds on Mainz 05 at 2.08 are short enough and Hamburg and the draw are both 3.4, which doesn’t leave much value in the moneyline markets.
- However, Hamburger SV have scored just 6 goals in 10 away games and Mainz 05 have conceded 13 at home, so the ‘Both Teams To Score’ market at 1.65 looks a good opportunity in this matchup of inconsistent sides.
- With Hamburg unbeaten in their last five games and Mainz 05 having won three of their last five, we’re swerving the moneyline wager in this one.
Prediction
So, the game is likely to be close and we could see both teams score .
