Prediction
Hamburg need another result to secure their safety, although their chances are already very good. The team should be motivated to finish the season with a good game at home.
Mainz are already safe, but want to keep their focus in the last two games. It remains to be seen how the players will deal with this situation. Expect Hamburg to fight hard for a win in their final home game. This should be a close game.
Hamburger SV 2 - 1 Mainz 05
