#TSGM05: Hoffenheim under pressure, Mainz on course for record haul
Did you know that…
…Mainz relish playing against Hoffenheim?
Mainz have celebrated more wins against TSG than any other Bundesliga club (15). The club from Rhine Hesse have lost just one of the last nine Bundesliga meetings between the two sides (six wins, two draws) - a 4-1 defeat at Hoffenheim in September 2022.
…Mainz are having an historically good season – but have faltered of late?
With 46 points after 28 games, Mainz are enjoying the best Bundesliga season in club history. Most recently, however, FSV have gone three games without a win (two draws, one defeat) for the first time in 2025. This is the longest winless streak Mainz have had this season.
…Hoffenheim have been waiting months for a win at home?
TSG have gone eight Bundesliga home games without a win (five draws, three defeats) - the longest run in the league. In addition, Hoffenheim have conceded at least one goal in each of their last 34 home matches - a historic Bundesliga negative record. TSG have only kept three clean sheets this season - only Holstein Kiel have fewer with two.
…Tom Bischof is lethal from long range?
The Hoffenheim youngster has scored five Bundesliga goals this season - four of them from distance: a league best. Since data collection began (2004/05), only Julian Draxler and Toni Kroos (five times each) scored more goals from long range before their 20th birthday. With a total of seven scorer points (five goals, two assists), he is the most prolific teenager in the league.
...Mainz will be without Nadiem Amiri?
The midfield metronome, who came up through the academy and played for the first team at TSG, will miss the game due to suspension. It will be a tough loss for them: Amiri has racked up more touches of the ball (1,823) and more passes (1,303) than any other FSV player. Mainz have lost two of their three Bundesliga games without him thus far this season.
