When playing at home, Mainz 05 have managed 5 wins, 4 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 13 games. It's trouble wherever Mainz 05 are playing these days as they have suffered four straight defeats now. They really need to get back to winning ways.

In their previous game, the manager S. Schwarz led his Mainz 05 to a defeat in the Bundesliga match away at Werder Bremen. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at OPEL ARENA. Heartbreak before that as Mainz 05 lost 0-6 at Bayern Munchen's place.
