Mainz 05 go into this match unmotivated after a 4-0 defeat at Hamburg. The home side usually play in a 3-4-3 formation, where the three most advanced players are Benedict Hollerbach, Paul Nebel and Jae-sung Lee. Nadiem Amiri, Arnaud Nordin, Phillipp Mwene and Kaishu Sano are likely to line up in the centre of the pitch, with the former playing a more attacking role. When he goes on the offensive, he usually does so via the right flank, taking advantage of the depth provided by centre-back Danny da Costa. Out of the game is Robin Zentner, who has been punished, as well as the injured Maxim Leitsch and Anthony Caci.
