Team News

Mainz
Freiburg
  • Karim Onisiwo is nearing a return from a knee injury, while key man Jonathan Burkardt is still on his way back from a knee operation.
  • Brajan Gruda has a hip problem.
  • Coach Christian Streich may rotate after the Europa League game against Italian giants Juventus, but Daniel-Kofi Kyereh is out long-term after suffering an ACL injury and Philipp Lienhart is struggling with a thigh injury.

Prediction

  • The hosts enjoy all week to prepare, while Freiburg were knocked out of the Europa League by Juventus on Thursday.
  • Improving Mainz have won four in a row at home and are pushing for Europa League qualification themselves. Five straight home wins would match a club record.
  • Dutch goalkeeper Mark Flekken has kept a league best 10 clean sheets for fifth-placed Freiburg who are unbeaten in 11 games at home, establishing a new club record.
  • Both teams are unbeaten in five games, therefore a share of the spoils could be the most likely option.
