THE PREDICTION
Mainz continue to slide having not won in six Bundesliga fixtures and conceding a 93rd minute winner against Borussia Dortmund in midweek will have been very tough to take. Despite, they can at least take the positive that they looked solid against a strong team and a similar performance would give them a great chance of success vs Bochum. The visitors dropped back into the bottom three after losing 2-0 away at Bayer Leverkusen last time out and both them and Mainz will be well aware of the consequences that losing here would bring in regards to the table. Therefore, it would be no surprise to see a very cagey affair between these two and backing under 2.5 goals to be scored looks like being a shrewd move.
