On Matchday 23 of this Bundesliga season, HSV will face 1. FSV Mainz 05. Here’s how you can watch the match live on TV and stream.
Will the Red Shorts manage three consecutive wins for the first time since their promotion? In the carnival stronghold of Mainz, there’s a big opportunity on Friday evening! After triumphs over Heidenheim (2:0) and Union Berlin (3:2), they now aim for a third victory in quick succession.
This match is also crucial in terms of the standings. HSV currently holds a four-point lead over the Rheinhessen and, with another win, could almost bid farewell to the relegation battle. But this task won’t be easy: Mainz have noticeably stabilized under new coach Urs Fischer, picking up an impressive nine points from their last four matches.
HSV coach Merlin Polzin is well aware of this. “After the first half of the season, they’ve stabilized, and if you look only at the table since Urs Fischer took over, they’re doing well in sixth place,” he said in praise ahead of the encounter. “They have a very compact defense, a hard-running team, and can bring on size and speed from the bench.”
The Bundesliga clash between Mainz and HSV will be broadcast live as a standalone match by Sky. As part of “Floodlight Friday,” the pay-TV channel will show the match on Sky Sport Bundesliga 1.
The broadcast begins at 7:30 p.m., with Mara Mones as the host. The commentary duo Frank Buschmann and Florian Schmidt-Sommerfeld will guide viewers through the match.
