Mainz 05 form and stats

Mainz 05's results here at OPEL ARENA in the Bundesliga have been very modest with 0 victories, 2 draws and 5 defeats. Mainz are slowly digging their own grave here at OPEL ARENA with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in seven attempts. The last victory here came in the Stuttgart match.

Mainz lost their last game at Bayern München (placed 1st) after a 2-5 scoreline. Preceding that game was the home draw versus Bochum (after extra-time, 0-3 on penalties) that ended 2-2.

A disaster for the home team in their last match (vs Bayern München) as a comfortable lead 2-0 was completely ruined into a loss 2-5. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today? Mainz 05's goalkeeper Finn Gilbert Dahmen was extremely busy against Bayern München, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning seven saves.

Mainz aren't scoring a lot here at OPEL ARENA in the league, with only 6 goals from 7 games. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 13 goals have been conceded.
