Mainz 05, Recent FormMainz 05 manager Bo Svensson will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 1-1 draw in his team's last league outing against Hertha BSC. During that encounter they had 60% possession and had 6 attempts on goal with 3 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 11 shots on goal.
It's been a rewarding period in front of goal for them with 13 goals scored in their last 6 matches; that said, Svensson will be less happy with his defence, who have conceded 6 goals in the same period. They are consistently finding a way through on goal, scoring in each of their last 10 games. The defensive quality of his current squad will be troubling Svensson of late, his defence having only notched up 2 clean sheets from their last 6 home games.
They have had a strong run of form recently, being undefeated in 5 of their last 6 games and picking up 4 wins along the way.
On an individual basis, Karim Onisiwo will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at The MEWA Arena having scored 5 goals in Mainz 05's last 6 home games in the league.
Freiburg, Recent FormFreiburg head into this match with some confidence in the knowledge that they recorded a solid 2-1 home win against 1899 Hoffenheim in their last league encounter. In that game they had 60% possession and managed 9 attempts on goal, with 3 on target, compared to 1899 Hoffenheim who had 12 attempts and 1 on target.
When it comes to attacking power Christian Streich will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 8 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 8 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late. It's fair to say they have produced a number of good defensive performances away from home, with 3 clean sheets in their last 6 matches on the road.
They have been enduring a less than rewarding period of form away from home at the moment, during which they have lost 3 and only picked up 2 wins from their last 6 matches.
On an individual basis, Vincenzo Grifo will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 12 goals in Freiburg's 24 league games this season.
It was one to forget for Mainz 05 last time they met Freiburg in the league, falling to a 2-1 defeat.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at The MEWA Arena, Breisgau-Brasilianer have been unable to break through the Mainz defence and find the back of the net.
Freiburg have been unbeaten the last 3 times they have faced Mainz in the league.
Nils Petersen will be feeling confident of netting goals for Freiburg in this one against Mainz with his scoring record of 3 goals in their last 5 meetings in the league.
There is only really one injury concern for the Mainz manager Bo Svensson ahead of this clash, with Jonathan Burkardt (Knee) missing out, which gives Svensson a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
Christian Streich has a number of injury concerns in his Freiburg squad to contend with: Woo-yeong Jeong (Illness), Daniel-Kofi Kyereh (Cruciate ligament), Philipp Lienhart (Hip) and Roland Sallai (Eye)
