Mainz 05, Recent FormA 1-1 draw against Borussia Dortmund will be viewed as a positive outcome for Mainz 05 and a valuable point into the bargain. Their share of possession in that meeting was 35%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 6 of which were on target, in contrast to Borussia Dortmund, who had 22 shots on goal with 7 on target.
Having conceded 4 goals and scored just 2 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 4 points. They have failed to score in 4 of their last 6 games, and they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at home.
Results wise, their recent poor run of form has left them without a win in 6 games.
Wolfsburg, Recent FormThe Wolfsburg players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their home fixture against Bayern Munich recently, that ended in a 2-1 defeat. They achieved 39% possession in that match and had 5 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Bayern Munich's tally of 20 efforts at goal, 7 of which were on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 5 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 11 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They've had a dismal run of form on their travels recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 away games, a solitary win providing little consolation. The've certainly not managed to shine on their travels so far this season, losing 6 of their 8 away league games.
On an individual basis, Jonas Wind will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 9 goals in Wolfsburg's 16 league games this season.
After a good 3-0 win for Wolfsburg in this pair's last league encounter, Mainz 05 will certainly be looking for a better result this time round.
The stats show that in the last 3 meetings between Mainz and their rivals, Die Wölfe, the former have conceded at least one goal. On each of the last 3 outings between Mainz and Die Wölfe in the league, Mainz have not performed well in front of goal and have come up empty-handed in terms of goals. In their recent meetings Wolfsburg have had no problem breaking down Die Nullfünfer's defence, having found the back of the net 13 times in their last 5 games.
Wolfsburg has won the last 3 games they've played against Mainz in the league.
Mainz manager Jan Siewert has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Leandro Barreiro (Hip), Anthony Caci (Abdominal), Edimilson Fernandes (Hip), Josuha Guilavogui (Hamstring), Andreas Hanche-Olsen (Ankle), Maxim Leitsch (Thigh), Nelson Weiper (Knee surgery) and Robin Zentner (Finger) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Niko Kovač has a number of injury concerns in his Wolfsburg squad to contend with: Lukas Nmecha (Knee surgery), Rogério Oliveira da Silva (Hamstring), Amin Sarr (Knee), Mattias Svanberg (Head) and Patrick Wimmer (Ligament)
