This match features two teams living in the basement of the Bundesliga, Mainz 05 holding 15th place and Paderborn lying 18th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Mainz 05 form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Bundesliga this season. Mainz 05 have only managed 3 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses from their games here at OPEL ARENA.
Stress levels are on the rise for Mainz 05's attacking players as they have now played 180 minutes without scoring in a league game. R. Quaison was their last goal scorer.
In their previous game, the manager A. Beierlorzer led his Mainz 05 to a defeat in the Bundesliga match away at Wolfsburg. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at OPEL ARENA. Before that, Mainz 05 drew at home versus Schalke 04.
Mainz 05 were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.
The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Mainz 05 handle that role? We have found five games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are four wins, one draw and zero defeats.
The Mainz 05 fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 11 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 20 goals have been conceded.
Paderborn form and stats
Paderborn have only collected 9 points from their away games in the Bundesliga, after 2-3-6 (11 played).
It might be tough going out on the road again for Paderborn, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 2-3 versus Bayern München (placed 1st). Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Hertha BSC.
It's a bit worrying for Paderborn that their goalkeeper Leopold Zingerle made six saves in the Bayern München game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
We have checked recent matches where Paderborn have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those one game were one victory, zero draws and zero defeats.
Paderborn find the net regularly in their away games. 13 goals from 11 away fixtures in the league. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Paderborn have conceded 21 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
