FSV Mainz 05 form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for FSV Mainz 05 so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 2-0-6 (win-draw-lose). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in FSV Mainz 05's last three away games as they have all been lost.
