Match announcement
Mainz 05
GermanyCurrent form
Mainz is having one of the most successful seasons in the Bundesliga in recent years and is approaching the start of the 16th round in fifth place in the standings with 25 points to its credit. There is even a good chance to fight for the top 4, as the gap is only two points. Bo Henriksen's men have won five of their last six rounds. Undoubtedly, the 2:1 home victory over Bayern stands out, after which they defeated another top 4 representative Eintracht with a score of 3:1 away, and in that match they had to play with ten men from the 21st minute. There is only one event on the transfer market for Mainz so far - Karim Onisiwo, who has not played an important role recently, has left for Salzburg.
Disqualifications and injuries
Vidovic will not play today due to injury. Burkardt's appearance on the field is in doubt. Amiri will serve a disqualification for a sending-off in the previous round.

Bochum
GermanyCurrent form
Before the winter break, Bochum gave its fans hope for saving the season. The unbending team won two victories in a row against Union with a score of 2:0 away and against Heidenheim with the same score only at home. As a result, the team now has eight points, still in last place, but Holstein, who are ahead, are ahead only on additional indicators. However, there are still six points to the saving 15th place. During the break, Dieter Hecking's charges played two friendly matches, in which they won against Wuppertaler (6:2) and Heracles (1:0).

12.50Tip and bets
Mainz had a great run before the winter break, and managed to beat the championship leaders. It is unlikely that the team lost its excellent form during the short break, especially since there is a chance to break into the top 4. Bochum also broke its losing streak, but the opponents were not the most difficult. On the road, in general, the unbending ones have been performing poorly throughout the season, having lost eight of the previous nine matches, we do not think that they will score points today.
