Mainz has won two, drawn one, and lost three of their last six away games in the Bundesliga. They scored 10 goals but gave up 12 during that time. Mainz had high hopes of winning the title at the start of the season, but they are now very far from that goal. Right now, they are in 17th place with only five points, having only won one of their last nine league games. But their 1-1 draw with Werder Bremen last weekend ended a string of losses and showed some signs of improvement. They are coming into this game after a 2-1 win over Fiorentina in the UEFA Conference League that boosted their spirits. The dramatic header by Jae-Sung Lee in the 95th minute could give them the boost they need.
