Baden-Württemberg: Hoffenheim is hoping for a first win under Matarazzo in Mainz

Hoffenheim (dpa/lsw) - TSG 1899 Hoffenheim wants to finally score points again after twelve games in the Bundesliga without a win at FSV Mainz 05. In order to stop the negative series in a duel with the Rheinhessen on Saturday (3.30 p.m. / Sky), everything has to fit for the Kraichgauer, who have slipped to relegation rank 16. Because the hosts go into the game in front of their home crowd with confidence after three wins in a row. Hoffenheim, however, wants to finally collect important points in the relegation battle in the fourth game under new coach Pellegrino Matarazzo.
