Hamburger SV vs Mainz Prediction & Betting Tips (5 October)

After many years spent at the lower level, Hamburg was able to find the elite during the offseason with the firm intention of being able to stay there over time. The HSV needed a few weeks of break-in in the first place to accuse at the highest level with in particular defeats experienced against Sankt Pauli 0-2 and Bayern 5-0 mid September. Fortunately for them, the promoted were able to raise their head against FC Heidenheim 2-1 before standing up, in numeric, against the Union Berlin 0-0 last week. These last two results have enabled Hamburg to get out of the red zone and to rise to 13th row in the ranking. 7th of the last Bundesliga championship, Mainz is not able to confirm the good dispositions posted last year.

The FSV has indeed already been beaten 3 times in the last 5 days as against Cologne 0-1, Leipzig 0-1 and finally Dortmund last weekend 0-2 in its 3 games played at home. On the other hand, the players of Bo Henriksen display more solidity on the move with a draw brought back from Wolfsburg 1-1 and a great victory won in Mainz 1-4. Thursday, Mainz will start its European season with a rather perilous trip planned on the field of Omonia Nicosie.

Still too fair last week, defender TorunariGha and the summer recruit Poulsen are hoped for this Sunday. The side Hefti and the Pherai striker are also likely to miss the call just like the defender made by Rennes Omari who left injured last weekend. Finally, the Fabio Vieira midfielder will be suspended after being expelled on the last day against Berlin. For the moment, the Central Defender Vuksovic and the right winger Philippe are the only ones to have already scored a goal this season for the HSV. The big recruit of the last transfer window in Mainz, the Honlerbach striker (Union Berlin), could return this weekend after being quickly injured after his arrival.

On the other hand, the tricolor side Caci will not be restored. If the defensive taulier Kohr will be back from suspension, it will be the porter of the porter Zentner to be suspended after being expelled against Dortmund. On the offensive level, the men to follow are Captain Amiri (1 goal), the Japanese Sano (1 goal, 1 pass), the precious nebel (1 goal) and the front center SIEB (1 goal).

• Summary: Hamburger SV is going head to head with 1. FSV Mainz 05 starting on 5 Oct 2025 at 15:30 UTC at Volksparkstadion stadium, Hamburg city, Germany. The match is a part of the Bundesliga .
