1. FSV Mainz 05 – TSG 1899 Hoffenheim

Bundesliga · Matchday 16 · 13 Jan 2027 · kick-off time not set yet

Model estimate

i

The model's chances for a home win, a draw and an away win. ❄ = the estimate was frozen within the last hour before kick-off (the model runs hourly) and no longer changes; “provisional” = it can still change until it is frozen. How good the model is can be seen on the calibration page.

No estimate yet: the model looks 14 days ahead, and a team needs 8 matches in the model window.

In three sentences

i

Three sentences, each from a figure in our database: what happened (streaks, form or head-to-head), why it matters today (rest, congestion, table, derby) and what the model estimates. Nothing hand-written, nothing guessed.

As of today, the home side have scored in each of their last 6 matches. The home side are 4 points above the bottom three with 27 matches left. The model has no estimate for this match yet.

Form, streaks, position and points are today's (25 Oct 2026), not the ones at kick-off: before this match the home side still have 8 league matches to play, the away side 9.

The home side only in its home matches, the visitors only in their away matches, this season: goals scored and conceded, how often both teams scored, how often there were 3+ goals, how often they kept a clean sheet and how often they failed to score. Under each percentage: out of how many matches, and the league average on the same matches. It describes what happened, not what comes next.
