Mainz 05, Recent FormThe Mainz 05 squad will want to put the 8-1 away thrashing they received from Bayern Munich firmly behind them and may also need to find something to boost their confidence levels as a consequence. They achieved 41% possession in that match and had 14 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Bayern Munich's tally of 24 efforts at goal, 12 of which were on target.
Their boss Bo Henriksen is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 15 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 6 goals scored. So far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 21 of their 25 games.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 home games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win. From their 25 league matches this season, they have managed just 2 wins, which is certainly not a run of form they will be happy with.
Bochum, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 2-1 home defeat by Freiburg will have left the Bochum squad feeling a little deflated. Their share of possession in that meeting was 59%, while racking up 24 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target. Freiburg had 9 shots on goal with 5 on target.
Supremo Thomas Letsch will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 15 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 9 goals they've managed to net. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 21 of their 25 games overall.
Their recent poor run of form away from home has left them without an away win in 6 games.
Takuma Asano has scored 2 goals in the last 6 away games and will be looking to add more in this fixture against Mainz 05.
In the last match between these two, goals were scored on both sides, with the game ending in a 2-2 draw.
The last 4 matches between Die Unabsteigbaren and Mainz show that Die Unabsteigbaren have let in at least one goal on each occasion.
In the league, Mainz has a good track record when they host Bochum, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
Mainz manager Bo Henriksen has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Stefan Bell (Heart problems), Josuha Guilavogui (Head), Tom Krauß (Knock), Maxim Leitsch (Groin), Jessic Ngankam (Muscle) and Nelson Weiper (Knee surgery) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Thomas Letsch has a number of injury concerns in his Bochum squad to contend with: Christopher Antwi-Adjei (Muscle), Matúš Bero (Knee), Michael Esser (Knee), Bernardo Fernandes Silva (Knee), Moritz-Broni Kwarteng (Medial Collateral Ligament), Andreas Luthe (Physical discomfort), Patrick Osterhage (Groin), Danilo Soares (Muscle), Niclas Thiede (Broken finger) and Mohammed Tolba (Cruciate ligament)
