VfL Bochum vs Mainz: Preview

Mainz started off their league campaign last weekend with an impressive 1-0 win over RB Leipzig and will look to continue in the same manner. Moussa Niakhate’s early goal was enough for the side to pick up all 3 points in a match where they enjoyed only 28% possession.

One of the promoted sides this season, VfL Bochum are looking to create upsets and pick-up points to secure their place in the division. They were up against a very strong VfL Wolfsburg outfit in their first match in the top flight, but played better than expected and in the end only lost by a 1-0 margin.

The two sides have met previously on 11 occasions and Mainz have had the upper hand overall. Mainz have won 7 matches, while Bochum have just a single victory to their name. The last time the two sides met in December 2020, the match ended in an entertaining 2-2 draw.
