It is early days yet, anything can happen and both Hamburger SV and Mainz 05 are still highly motivated of getting off to a good start. They both have talented squads, and we expect a cracking affair at Volksparkstadion as the teams look to get one over each other.
Hamburger SV are relatively average in the art of goal-scoring these days. They scored a steady 12 goals in their previous ten matches, for an average of 1.2 per game. They simultaneously allowed their opponents 20 goals, or an average of two a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to zero clean sheets in this run.
Ahead of their coming Bundesliga match, Mainz 05 look in excellent goal-scoring shape. In their previous ten games, they hammered in an average of 1.5 goals a game. A highly respectable total of 15 goals, while also letting in 12 goals. The latter leaves an average of 1.2 per outing, in which they managed three clean sheets.
It finished all square on when Hamburger SV last faced Mainz 05. With both denying to back down, the scoreboard said 1-1 in the end. The best betting odds on a draw at full-time with the bookies are at 5/2.

Hamburger SV Form
Hamburger SV went through their last three matches with a 1-1 draw against Bayer Leverkusen, a 0-3 win against SC Verl and a 2-0 defeat against Borussia Dortmund. Hamburger SV just have a single home win to show from their efforts in the past six Bundesliga matches at the Volksparkstadion. They also drew two and lost three of these six encounters, in which they scored seven and conceded nine goals.
Mainz 05 Form
In their last three matches, Mainz 05 lost 1-3 against Union Berlin, won 0-2 against FC Heidenheim, and drew 0-0 with Paderborn. Mainz 05 claimed a remarkable four wins from six away matches in the Bundesliga, going undefeated as they also drew twice. They also banged in ten goals, whilst conceding four.
Hamburger SV and Mainz 05 looks like an equal pairing, and since it's difficult to separate one from the other currently, we wouldn't be surprised by a draw.
