Hamburg vs Mainz prediction

Both of these two clubs have found goals extremely tough to come by since the start of this season’s Bundesliga. Newly promoted Hamburg and opponents Mainz have accounted for just seven goals between them across ten games featuring at least one of the pair. That leads us to believe that this will be somewhat of a turgid contest, with neither wanting to lose when considering how close they are to the bottom three.

Neither are likely to throw bodies forward at will and risk themselves being cut open at the other end of the pitch and clear-cut chances should prove hard to come by bar an individual error. With that in mind, consider backing under 2.5 goals regardless of the final outcome at the Volksparkstadion.

Hamburg vs Mainz tip: Under 2.5 goals
