Mainz 05, Recent FormOn the back of a tough 3-0 away defeat by Wolfsburg, Mainz 05 manager Bo Svensson will have some work to do to get his team in a confident mindset. During that encounter they had 49% possession and had 10 attempts on goal with 2 on target, while their opponents hit 4 of their 10 shots on goal.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 10 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They have been performing well at The MEWA Arena recently and are unbeaten in their last 7 home games.
When home matches come round at The MEWA Arena, Karim Onisiwo will feel confident of adding more goals to his tally of 5 goals in Mainz 05's last 6 home league matches.
Schalke 04, Recent FormSchalke 04 will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-1 home win against Werder Bremen. They achieved 57% possession in that match and had 19 strikes at goal, with 10 hitting the target, up against Werder Bremen's tally of 10 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
Thomas Reis, their chief, will be doing some careful analysis of his defence, who have seen their goal breached 13 times in their last 6 games while somehow managing to pick up some points along the way with 8 goals scored. They have kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 away games, but this season they have failed to score in 8 of 14 games on the raod.
They're experiencing a disappointing spell of form, having lost 3 of their last 6 games and picking up only 2 wins. Winning away from home has been a bit of a problem for them this season having only managed to win 1 of their 14 league games on the road.
On an individual basis, Marius Bülter will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Schalke 04's last 6 league games.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Schalke 04 that came out on top with a 1-0 win.
On each of the last 2 outings between Mainz and Die Königsblauen in the league, Mainz have not performed well in front of goal and have come up empty-handed in terms of goals.
When playing away from home in the league, Schalke have failed to win any of their last 3 meetings with Mainz, with the last 2 of those games ending in a draw.
Karim Onisiwo will be feeling confident of netting goals for Mainz in this one against Schalke with his scoring record of 3 goals in their last 5 meetings in the league.
With only Jonathan Burkardt (Knee) and Silvan Widmer (Ankle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Bo Svensson will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
Thomas Reis has a number of injury concerns in his Schalke squad to contend with: Éder Balanta (Knee), Dominick Drexler (Illness), Ralf Fährmann (Groin), Justin Heekeren (Cruciate ligament), Moritz Jenz (Thigh), Soichiro Kozuki (Ankle) and Tim Skarke (Ankle)
