Game Preview
On Saturday, Hoffenheim faces off against Mainz 05 in the Bundesliga for their 6th match of their campaign. Only one point separates the two sides heading into this clash, with both teams holding top-half positions. Mainz upset the apple cart with a third successive away win at Borussia Monchengladbach last weekend, with Bo Svensson’s men running out 1-0 winners. Meanwhile Hoffenheim, having won their three previous matches, traveled to Borussia Dortmund full of confidence that they could cause an upset.
However, Andre Breitenreiter’s side struggled to lay a glove on their opponents, with Marco Reus’s close-range strike capping an utterly dominant first-half display from the hosts, which should have led to more goals for them. Georginio Rutter’s scuffed effort was the closest that Die Kraichgauer came to leveling the proceedings, but Breitenreiter should not concern himself too much with losing to one of the stronger teams in the Bundesliga, especially having witnessed his side show great resolve to dig in and remain in the match.
On the other side, Die Nullfunfer may be yet to win at home this season, but on the road they appear to be a team to be feared, although they were undoubtedly helped by Ko Itakura’s 53rd-minute dismissal for a professional foul. It turned out to be a hugely decisive minute of action as Aaron Caricol scored a sublime goal from the ensuing free kick, with the wing-back curling a left-footed strike into the top corner and beyond the reach of Yann Sommer.
Up until that point, Robin Zentner and some superb defending in front of him had repeatedly denied the in-form Marcus Thuram in particular, and Svensson will be hoping for much more of the same in this upcoming game. And now looking at Hoffenheim, there is every chance that they can get back on track at home against Mainz this weekend, especially having won both of their home matches so far this season.
