Confirmed Lineups: Mainz 05 vs. TSG Hoffenheim | OneFootball

Mainz host Hoffenheim as Bundesliga returns after the final international break of 2025. The two teams are in contrasting forms as Hoffenheim have won their last four matches, while Mainz have only added a single point to their tally since matchday 5.

Nadiem Amiri withdrew from Germany’s squad due to adductor issues, but he is fit enough to start for the hosts. Andreas Hanche-Olsen replaced Danny Da Costa in central defense for the 17th-placed side.

Finsk Asllani is preferred ahead of Tim Lemperle by Christian Ilzer in the final third as Hoffenheim aim to extend their winning streak.
