Mainz 05, Recent FormA 0-0 draw against RB Leipzig will be viewed as a positive outcome for Mainz 05 and a valuable point into the bargain. In that game they had 33% possession and managed 7 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to RB Leipzig who had 20 attempts and 10 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 6 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 11 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but playing at home, they have conceded a goal in 10 of their 13 games this season.
Mainz will take some comfort from being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 home games, but having managed just 2 wins leaves them plenty of room for improvement. It's fair to say that their form in the league has not been good this season, given they have clocked up just 3 wins from 27 matches.
On an individual basis, Jonathan Burkardt will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Mainz 05's last 6 league games.
Darmstadt 98, Recent FormA 2-2 draw and a point gained against Bochum in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent for Darmstadt 98 last time out. In that game they recorded 43 % of the possession, with 12 attempts on goal, 3 on target. Their opponents found the target on 7 of their 21 shots on goal.
They have bagged 6 goals in their last 6 matches but haven't taken the points they might have hoped for, primarily due to some indecisive defending that has seen their goal breached 18 times in that period. So far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 25 of their 27 games.
The misery continues for Darmstadt, having not won any of their last 20 games.
On an individual basis, Tim Skarke is giving Darmstadt 98's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 3 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
The previous meeting between these two sides was not one to live long in the memory; that match finished without a goal, and both teams settling for a point apiece.
Mainz manager Bo Henriksen has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Stefan Bell (Heart problems), Maxim Leitsch (Groin), Jessic Ngankam (Knee) and Nelson Weiper (Lack of fitness) are all currently out of contention for this game.
The injury list is starting to mount up for Darmstadt manager Torsten Lieberknecht with Klaus Gjasula (Groin), Fabian Holland (Groin), Marvin Mehlem (Broken leg), Fabian Nürnberger (Ankle), Luca Pfeiffer (Illness) and Fabio Torsiello (Muscle) all unavailable for selection, and Fraser Hornby (Ankle) out for the rest of the season.
