Bochum host Mainz 05 in the round of 16 of the German Cup.

Bochum collected one win, two draws and two defeats in their last five outings. Mainz 05 recorded three wins and two losses over the same period.

The line prices the over 2.5 goals market at 62.9 %. Bochum average 1.4 goals per game, Mainz 2.8. Given the cup setting and the fact that all five previous H2H games went over 2.5, the probability of over 2.5 goals is assessed at 63–65 %.

A Mainz 05 victory is priced around 61 %, a draw 24 % and a home win 15 %. The odds and the gap in squad depth suggest the visitors are the more likely winners.
